Friday’s Mega Millions winning numbers and jackpot details The Mega Millions numbers drawn on Friday, June 20, 2025 were 26 - 49 - 58 - 61 - 63 and Mega Ball 9. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the top prize rolled over once again. As a result, the jackpot for the next drawing climbs to an estimated $302 million, with a cash option of $136 million according to the official game site. Why the jackpot is surging The current run began after a Missouri player hit a $560 million prize on March 18. Since then, 17 consecutive drawings have produced no grand-prize winner, allowing the pool to grow by roughly $20–25 million each time. Secondary prizes, however, continue to flow: Friday’s drawing produced two $1 million Match 5 winners in California and New York, plus more than 650,000 lower-tier payouts nationwide. Next drawing schedule and ticket cut-off times • Drawings: Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia • Ticket sales close 15 minutes to 1 hour before the draw, depending on state regulations • The next chance to play is Tuesday, June 24, 2025 How to play Mega Millions 1. Choose five white balls (1–70) and one gold Mega Ball (1–25). 2. Add the $1 Megaplier option in most states to multiply non-jackpot prizes up to 5×. 3. A standard play costs $2; with Megaplier it’s $3. 4. Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Odds and prize tiers • Jackpot (5 + Mega Ball): 1 in 302,575,350 • $1 million (Match 5): 1 in 12,607,306 • $10,000 (Match 4 + Mega Ball): 1 in 931,001 Overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24. Where to find results live You can watch the drawing on many local television stations, stream it on the Mega Millions YouTube channel about 15 minutes after airtime, or check real-time results on the game’s homepage and official state lottery apps. What winners should know • Prizes must be claimed in the jurisdiction where the ticket was purchased. • Jackpot winners can choose the 30-year graduated annuity or the lump-sum cash option. • Consult a financial advisor and attorney before going public; some states allow you to remain anonymous. • Federal taxes of 24 % are withheld automatically, and state taxes may apply. Responsible play reminder Lottery tickets are entertainment, not an investment strategy. If you or someone you know shows signs of problem gambling, call the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-522-4700 or visit ncpgambling.org for confidential assistance. Check your numbers—$302 million is on the line Tuesday night. Good luck!
