The Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, offered one of the year’s largest jackpots — an estimated $650 million grand prize. Players across the United States tuned in to see if anyone would claim the tenth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history. The winning numbers have now been revealed, and there’s confirmation on whether anyone won big.

The official Mega Millions winning numbers for October 21, 2025, were 2, 18, 27, 34, 59, with the Mega Ball 18. Despite the massive anticipation, no ticket matched all six numbers, meaning the jackpot rolls over once again — pushing it even higher for the next drawing on Friday, October 24.

Mega Millions Results and Jackpot Details

The Oct. 21 draw was one of the most talked-about lottery events of 2025. The $650 million prize carried a cash option of $304.1 million for a single winner. However, lottery officials confirmed that no jackpot winner emerged from Tuesday night’s numbers.

There was, however, a major secondary prize: a Match 5 with 3X Megaplier ticket sold in Illinois, worth $3 million. That winning ticket was the largest prize awarded from the draw. Smaller prizes were distributed across the nation for players who matched between three and five numbers.

This marks the fifth consecutive rollover since the last Mega Millions jackpot winner on June 27, when a Virginia ticket holder claimed $348 million. Prior to that, winners came from Ohio, Illinois, and Arizona earlier this year.

What Happens Next for the Mega Millions Jackpot?

With no winner on October 21, the Mega Millions jackpot will grow again. Lottery analysts expect the next drawing’s prize to surpass $680 million — potentially making it one of the top five largest jackpots of 2025.

The excitement continues to build as more players buy tickets hoping to turn a few dollars into hundreds of millions. The odds of hitting all six numbers remain steep at 1 in 302.6 million, but that doesn’t stop hopeful participants from joining in every week.

As of October 22, there have been four Mega Millions jackpot winners in 2025, from Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and Arizona. If the upcoming draw produces another winner, it could mark the fifth major payout this year.

For now, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb, giving players another chance at life-changing winnings later this week.
