The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, reached an estimated $50 million with a cash option of $23.2 million. The winning numbers for the Nov. 18 drawing were released late Tuesday night.
According to the official results, the winning numbers were drawn as follows: 1, 8, 11, 12, 57 with a Mega Ball of 7. These numbers matched the previous drawing, as they were displayed as part of a pre-draw template before the official update. However, lottery officials confirmed that no jackpot-winning ticket was sold for the Nov. 18 drawing.
Mega Millions Winning Numbers & Payout Details
Mega Millions held its regular Tuesday night drawing at 11 p.m. ET. No ticket matched all five white balls and the Mega Ball. The jackpot will now roll over to Friday’s drawing, increasing from the $50 million reset amount set after the nearly $1 billion jackpot was won on Nov. 14.
The current rules introduced in 2025 increased the ticket price to $5 and added an automatic multiplier. Every non-jackpot prize is now boosted by a 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X multiplier printed on each ticket. Non-jackpot payouts now range from $10 to as high as $10 million depending on the match and multiplier.
Here is a look at the updated prize structure:
- Match 5 + Mega Ball: Jackpot
- Match 5: $2 million to $10 million depending on multiplier
- Match 4 + Mega Ball: $20,000 to $100,000
- Match 4: $1,000 to $5,000
- Match 3 + Mega Ball: $400 to $2,000
- Match 3: $20 to $100
- Match 2 + Mega Ball: $20 to $100
- Match 1 + Mega Ball: $14 to $70
- Match Mega Ball only: $10 to $50
The odds of hitting the jackpot remain extremely long at 1 in 290,472,336. The odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 23.
What the Results Mean Going Forward
Because no ticket matched all six numbers, the Mega Millions jackpot increases again. Friday’s drawing will reflect the new rollover amount, which typically grows quickly due to stronger early-cycle ticket sales.
Players in New Jersey can continue purchasing tickets until 10:45 p.m. ET on draw nights. Tickets are available in-store and online through the state’s official lottery channels.
The Nov. 18 drawing closes out the first cycle after the previous jackpot was won on Nov. 14. With no winner this time, the Mega Millions jackpot is officially climbing once again.
