The Mega Millions jackpot climbed to a staggering $900 million for the Tuesday, November 11, 2025, drawing — one of the largest in the game’s history. The winning numbers drawn were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 with the Mega Ball 1.
According to officials, no ticket matched all six numbers to claim the top prize, extending the jackpot’s historic run. This marks the third time the Mega Millions grand prize has reached this level since the record-breaking $1.602 billion jackpot in August 2023.
Mega Millions Jackpot Nears $1 Billion
The $900 million jackpot stands as the eighth-largest Mega Millions prize ever and one of the biggest in U.S. lottery history. The prize has been rolling over since it was last won in Virginia on June 27, 2025. Each drawing since then has failed to produce a jackpot winner, fueling growing excitement among players nationwide.
Winners can choose between two payout options: an annuity valued at $900 million, paid over 30 years, or a cash lump sum of $415.3 million. The annuity option increases by 5% annually, providing rising payments each year for nearly three decades.
The last time the Mega Millions jackpot exceeded $1 billion was in December 2024, when a Northern California ticket matched all numbers for a $1.269 billion prize. With the current pot nearing that threshold, anticipation is building that the next winner could once again join the billion-dollar club.
Historic Context and Previous Record Wins
Since its launch in 2002, Mega Millions has produced several record-setting prizes. The largest ever was the $1.602 billion jackpot won in August 2023 from a ticket sold in Neptune Beach, Florida. That win followed other notable milestones, including a $1.537 billion jackpot in October 2018 and a $1.348 billion prize in January 2023.
Other record jackpots include Powerball’s $2.04 billion win in November 2022 and its $1.78 billion jackpot in September 2025, underscoring the growing frequency of massive lottery prizes in the past few years.
With Mega Millions tickets sold in 45 states plus Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, millions of players participate twice a week, each hoping to beat the 1 in 302.6 million odds of winning the grand prize.
Next Mega Millions Drawing and What’s Ahead
The next drawing will take place on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 11 p.m. ET. Should no ticket match all six numbers again, the jackpot is expected to exceed $1 billion — potentially marking one of the largest prizes in U.S. history.
As the Mega Millions pot grows, local lottery officials continue to remind players to play responsibly. Even as excitement spreads nationwide, the odds remain long, but smaller prizes — ranging from $2 to $1 million — are still regularly won across the country.
The Mega Millions winning numbers for November 11, 2025, are 10, 13, 40, 42, 46, and Mega Ball 1. The next jackpot could push past $1 billion if no one wins on Friday.
