Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing on November 18, 2025, ended without a jackpot winner, leading to a rollover of the prize to an estimated $60 million for the next drawing on Friday, November 21. The winning numbers drawn were 5, 10, 23, 27, and 30, with the Gold Mega Ball number 10.
No player matched all six numbers to claim the $50 million jackpot, whose cash value stood at approximately $23.1 million. As a result, excitement builds for Friday’s drawing, which could see the jackpot rise to around $60 million, or approximately $27.7 million in cash value.
This follows the jackpot reset earlier this month after a single ticket sold in Georgia won the massive $980 million prize, the eighth-largest in Mega Millions history. Before that, the jackpot had reset after a $348 million winner in Virginia in June 2025.
In April 2025, Mega Millions tickets doubled in price from $2 to $5, a move lottery officials said would help inflate jackpots and improve the odds slightly—from 1 in 303 million to roughly 1 in 290 million. The price increase also raised the minimum win on non-jackpot prizes, doubling the smallest guaranteed payout to $10.
Lottery officials expect this adjustment will stimulate ticket sales as players are increasingly drawn by larger jackpots. With an improved chance of winning any prize now at 1 in 23, players remain hopeful amid rolling jackpots.
As the Mega Millions game continues to generate interest with record-breaking jackpots and growing prize pools, players anticipate Friday’s drawing with renewed optimism and increased ticket purchases are expected.
