With no winners since June, the Mega Millions jackpot has soared to $800 million after no one matched all six numbers plus the gold Mega Ball during the Halloween draw.
That means a payout — with a cash value of over $371 milliion — is now up for grabs for the next drawing on Tuesday. However, lottery officials warn that it’s been a while since a Mega Millions jackpot was won in the month of November.
“The last time was in 2016,” Mega Millions said in a statement. “Since the game began in 2002, though, there have been 16 jackpots won during the month; the largest to date was a $326 million prize won in New York on November 4, 2014.”
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Mega Millions tickets will now sell for $5, leading to more jackpots and payouts
The Mega Millions jackpot has been growing since a person in Virginia won a $348 million jackpot on June 27. Since then, lottery officials say in 36 drawings there have been over 11 million winning tickets at all prize levels — with total prizes exceeding $261 million.
“Before the June 27 Virginia jackpot win at $348 million, other jackpots awarded this year were in Ohio ($112 million on April 18), Illinois ($349 million on March 25), and Arizona ($112 million on January 17),” Mega Millions officials stated.
Mega Millions tickets cost $5 and are sold in 45 states and Washington, D.C. The next drawing will be Tuesday night at 11 p.m. Eastern. The overall odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in roughly 290 million.

The Texas Lottery is under scrutiny following two jackpot controversies that have raised questions about the system’s integrity and operational practices.

On Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Rangers to investigate two major lottery drawings, including:

“Texans must be able to trust in our state’s lottery system and know that the lottery is conducted with integrity and lawfully,” Abbott said in a Monday statement. “Texans deserve a lottery that is fair and transparent for everyone.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Wednesday that his office is also investigating the state’s lottery system. And the state’s lottery commission has announced a statewide investigation into all online lottery courier services currently operating in the state.
Online lottery couriers are third-party companies that allow customers to purchase lottery tickets through an app or website without having to visit a physical retailer. A scanned copy of the ticket is sent to the customer as proof of purchase. Couriers charge a fee for purchasing and managing tickets.
These companies currently operate without oversight in Texas, and only three out of nearly two dozen states that have such services regulate them, according to a 2024 report from the Texas House Committee on Licensing and Administrative Procedures.
The Texas Lottery Commission (TLC) on Monday announced plans to prohibit lottery courier services, arguing that they violate state laws by allowing money laundering and the sale of fake lotto tickets. According to TLC executive director Ryan Mindell, the commission will propose the policy at an open meeting on March 4. Mindell said they’re expecting the policy to go into effect in April. If approved, any retailer working in tandem with a courier service would have their lottery ticket sales license revoked.
“We are taking decisive steps to uphold the public’s trust and ensure that the lottery operates as intended – in a fair and secure manner,” Mindell said in a statement.
Amid the growing turmoil, Texas Lottery Commissioner Clark Smith resigned from his position on Friday, about a week after he and several other lottery officials were grilled at a state Senate committee hearing over couriers.
In Austin, state lawmakers have already proposed several bills seeking to prohibit these courier services in Texas – including one that aims to abolish the state lottery completely.
Jackpocket, one of the country’s major online lottery courier services, has already suspended its operations in the state. The company’s app is encouraging Texans to contact state lawmakers in support of “convenient lottery play.” A spokesperson for Lotto.com, another courier service that operates in Texas, expressed disappointment in the TLC’s decision and, in a statement to CNN, said that the company was evaluating its options.

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has announced a major policy change for the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, also known as the Green Card Lottery.
Starting October 16, all individuals registering for the DV-2027 program and future lotteries will be required to pay a $1 electronic registration fee. This is the first time in the lottery’s history that applicants will be charged simply to enter.
Until now, registration was completely free, with only selected entrants paying fees during the visa application stage.
According to DOS, the new policy seeks to share the administrative costs more fairly across all registrants rather than placing the financial burden solely on those selected to continue with visa applications.
The DV-2027 lottery is scheduled to open for registration in early October 2025, with the window expected to run for about one month. The U.S. Department of State will confirm the exact dates through the Federal Register and its official website.
It’s important for applicants to submit their entries within the designated period, as late submissions will not be considered, and multiple entries will result in automatic disqualification.
If you plan to register for the DV-2027 Green Card lottery, here are key things to keep in mind:
Make sure you have access to electronic payment methods accepted by the U.S. government.
Submit your application exclusively through the official DV lottery site. With the introduction of a fee, scammers may try to exploit applicants through fake websites or inflated charges.
Be ready to apply as soon as the registration period opens. The application window usually lasts about 30 days, and late entries are not considered.
Gather all required personal information and ensure your digital passport-style photos meet U.S. visa specifications before starting the application.
The $1 fee is only for registration. If you are selected, you will still need to pay the $330 immigrant visa application fee, along with medical examination and supporting document costs.
The new fee is a shift in how the DV lottery is managed. However, the policy also raises concerns about accessibility in regions where digital payments are difficult.

For most applicants, the $1 fee will be minor, but staying alert to scams and preparing for the official process will be more important than ever.
