Mega Millions jackpot hits $800 million, check winning numbers for Tuesday, Nov. 4 – The Desert Sun

Californians, it’s time to check your pockets, junk drawers, and underneath the car seats because one forgotten ticket from the Nov. 4 Mega Millions drawing could be worth $800 million.
It was about this time last year when a California resident correctly matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the $1.22 billion Mega Millions drawing for Friday, Dec. 27, 2024.
Could Mega Millions deliver another holiday windfall to one lucky Californian?
Let’s take a look.
Mega Millions lottery drawings are held at 8 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday, including holidays. The winning numbers for the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, Nov. 4, were 11-14-17-50-57, and the Mega Ball was 6.
In case you’re wondering, the winning numbers for the Halloween drawing on Friday, Oct. 31, were 2-24-52-66-68, and the Mega Ball was 9.
The next Mega Millions lottery drawing will be at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, 2025.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last won on Friday, June 27, 2025, when a ticket in Virginia matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win a $348 million prize.
Below is a recap of lottery drawings for the latest streak.

Lottery expert's tips to scoop $1bn Powerball tonight & the numbers to avoid – the-sun.com

More from The Sun
He also revealed why you don’t need to wait for the $1bn jackpot to win life-changing money
A LOTTERY expert has revealed his triple-threat tips for any players hoping to win tonight’s $1 billion Powerball jackpot.
It comes after the grand prize of the Powerball Lottery surged to a staggering $1 billion on Friday.

Players had been gearing up for a jackpot of $950 million but soaring ticket sales meant lottery officials issued a last-minute announcement adding $50 million to the pot.
It is only the sixth time in over three decades that the jackpot has hit the billion dollar mark after no one won the $861 million prize in Wednesday’s draw.
As more people are expected to throw their hat in the ring for tonight’s jackpot, Jared James, the founder of Lotto Edge, spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun about his biggest tips for players and why your lucky numbers might not be so lucky after all.
“With any lottery draw game, prior drawings have no bearing on future draws,” he said when asked how players can boost their odds for the draw.

THAT'S YOUR LOTT
Labor Day lottery ‘ban’ law will force players to change how they play
“However, at LottoEdge, we did a study of historical Powerball results and found three things we recommend to players.”
First, he recommends using the entire play slip, but you must pay close attention to the numbers you choose.
This is where ‘lucky numbers’ come in as they can limit your chances if they were picked using a common method.
Many players who have their own ‘lucky numbers’ get them from special dates that hold meaning in their lives, but this instantly puts players at a disadvantage.

“Playing only birthdays and anniversaries limits numbers up to 31,” James said.
“Less than 3% of drawings had all winning numbers 31 or below.”
“’Lucky’ and ‘unlucky’ numbers are really just a matter of personal belief,” he added.
“Lottery drawings are random, so no number has a built-in advantage.
“While it might look like certain numbers pop up more often, that’s simply chance at play.
“Over time, every number has the exact same odds of being drawn.”
Millions dream of winning the lottery and finding fame and fortune. These are the biggest winners in US lottery history.
This is why players should mix up the numbers and combinations they select and play the entire slip.
James’ second tip is “don’t pick numbers using a pattern”.
“Some players will draw patterns on their play slip. Randomly drawn numbers don’t follow patterns,” the lottery algorithm founder said.
And lastly, players should use a mixture of odd and even numbers.
“The best mix was three even and two odd or two even and three odd,” he said of Lotto Edge’s analysis of previous Powerball draws.
“About 64% of winning results had this mix of even and odd.”
With these tips in mind, Powerball players will have to wait until 10:59 pm ET for the draw to see if they have won the staggering windfall.
The estimated cash value of the prize is a whopping $453.1 million.
But if you want to win big you don’t have to wait for record-breaking jackpots, James says.
“Many people have come to believe that only time to play is when jackpots near record levels,” he explained.
“Winning $1bn is generational changing money. But so is $400 million or even $100 million.
“If you are playing to win life-changing money, you don’t need to wait for record setting jackpots.”
Meanwhile, he said that those who just want to win the lottery should move to scratch offs where you are more likely to bag a prize.
“With games such as Powerball, you’re trading astronomical odds for chance to win monumental prizes,” he said.
“The game doesn’t have great odds to win smaller prizes though.
“For example, to win $100 on Powerball, the odds are about 1 in 14,400.

“But on a $2 scratch off, you’ll find odds of winning $100 as low as 1 in 236, depending on the state.”
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot tonight are around one in 292.2 million.
LottoEdge did a study of historical Powerball results and found three things to recommend to players:
1. Use the entire play slip – Playing only birthdays and anniversaries limits numbers up to 31. Less than 3% of drawings had all winning numbers 31 or below.
2. Don’t pick numbers using a pattern – Some players will draw patterns on their play slip. Randomly drawn numbers don’t follow patterns.
3. Mix even and odds numbers – The best mix was three even and two odd or two even and three odd. About 64% of winning results had this mix of even and odd.

Mega Millions jackpot hits $843 million for Friday drawing – WV News

Generally cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 68F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph..
Evening clouds will give way to clearing overnight. Slight chance of a shower throughout the evening. Low 38F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Updated: November 5, 2025 @ 12:21 pm

Despite freezing temperatures across much of the country, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to heat up, reaching an estimated $843 million for Friday’s drawing. The cash option is valued at $391.7 million, making it the eighth-largest jackpot in the game’s history.
“This is just incredible to see for this game with its new format,” Acting Director David Bradley said. “Less than seven full months ago, this game relaunched with a new price point and new features, and now it has a jackpot in the Top 10. It’s an exciting thing to watch, but as with all of our games, we strongly ask players to play responsibly.”
Friday’s drawing will mark the 38th in the current run, with nearly 11 million winning tickets sold across all nine prize tiers.
The last time a Mega Millions jackpot was won in November was in 2016, but since the game began in 2002, the jackpot has been claimed 16 times in November.
In April 2025, Mega Millions introduced a $5 ticket that includes a built-in multiplier ranging from two to 10 times, designed to significantly increase non-jackpot prizes. Since the update, more than $318 million in non-jackpot prizes have been awarded — compared with just $72.5 million that would have been paid under the previous format.
So far this year, four jackpots have been won, matching the total from 2024. The most recent Mega Millions jackpot — worth $348 million — was claimed in Virginia in June.
Tickets cost $5 per play and must be purchased by 9:59 p.m. on the night of the drawing. Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday. Each play includes a random multiplier that applies to all non-jackpot prizes.
