Check back here after 11 p.m. for the Mega Millions winning numbers for Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025.
Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m.
The cost is now $5 per ticket and includes a multiplier that will increase the amount of your potential prize up to 10 times the original prize (except for the jackpot). The Mega Millions implemented a slew of changes on April 8, 2025.
Each player selects five numbers from 1 to 70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 24 for the Mega Ball (down from 25 Mega Balls). However, you can also have the lottery machine generate a random Quick Pick for you. You don’t need to be a U.S. citizen or a resident of a particular state where you purchase your ticket.
You can win at least $10 for the matching just one – the Mega Ball. Short of the jackpot, you can win a minimum of $2 million for matching all five white balls (except in California). You can check all the prize payouts on the Mega Millions site here.
You can play the game in 45 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The states not offering Mega Millions are: Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah.

The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option is paid out over time. There is an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments after that, increasing by 5% each year. The cash option is significantly lower than the advertised jackpot, but it is paid in a lump sum. You don’t have to wait decades for all the money.
In some states, like New Jersey, you can win a lottery anonymously. That wasn’t always the case, but now winners are able to stay anonymous under a law that was signed by Gov. Phil Murphy. In other states, a winner’s name and hometown are a matter of public record. Check with your state lottery for more information.

Johns Hopkins UniversityEst. 1876
America’s First Research University
By Monica Queen
Johns Hopkins University faculty and staff gathered Nov. 18 for the return of Homewood Basket Bingo, a spirited fundraiser benefiting United Way and sponsored by the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences’ United Way Committee. The event, which had been paused for a couple of years, drew nearly 75 colleagues for 10 lively rounds of bingo and a chance to win themed baskets donated by campus partners. Adding to the festive atmosphere were a taco-bar lunch provided by 1876 Distinction Catering and raffle drawings offering chances to win JHU gear, a Kindle, and a Ring security system.
“It was great to connect with new people and have fun while supporting a good cause,” said attendee Natalie Culberston, a staff member in the Krieger School. “Not to mention, I ended up winning one of the raffle prizes.”
This year’s basket bingo raised close to $1,000 for United Way nonprofits focused on education, financial stability, and health. The Krieger School’s United Way Committee expressed appreciation for the enthusiastic turnout and the volunteers who helped make the event possible.
The success of the revived Homewood Basket Bingo highlights the Krieger School’s commitment to service and reflects how Johns Hopkins faculty and staff continue to support the broader community through meaningful and collaborative engagement.
