A $1 million second-prize ticket was recently sold in the Mega Millions game in New York state at a popular New York Lottery hotspot.
The New York Lottery announced one second-prize winning ticket was sold for the Tuesday, Oct. 1, drawing.
It was sold at Smokes 4 Less, located at 59 North Plank Rd., in Newburgh, New York.
The line around this cigar shop remains consistently wrapped around the store, as this hotspot for winning tickets has undoubtedly contributed to the buzz and anticipation.
The winning numbers from Tuesday’s drawing were: 27, 35, 47, 50, 66, and Mega Ball 25.
Winning numbers for the Mega Millions game are drawn from a field of one to 70. The Mega Ball number is drawn from a separate field of one to 25. In order to win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the gold Mega Ball number.
Mega Millions tickets can be purchased at any New York Lottery retailer for $2, seven days a week. The deadline for purchasing a ticket is 10 p.m. on draw nights.
Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday, and the New York Lottery urges players to buy tickets early to avoid last-minute lines.

There was no jackpot winner for Tuesday’s Nov. 11 Mega Millions drawing, which means that Friday’s Nov. 14 drawing, if there is a winner, would be the eighth highest jackpot in Mega Millions history.
This jackpot is an estimated $965 million for Tuesday night’s drawing, according to the Mega Millions website. The cash option is $445.3 million.
The last jackpot was won on June 27, a single winner from Virginia won a $348 million jackpot.
A group of co-workers on Long Island rung in the new year by scoring a Mega Millions jackpot of $437 million on January 1, 2019.
There was a $20 million jackpot winner in Syracuse on April 19, 2023. There were three jackpot winners in New York in 2023, $483 million on April 14 in Queens and $20 million on January 17 in the Bronx. There have been no Mega Millions jackpot winners from New York in 2025.
The next Mega Millions drawing is Friday, Nov. 14. Drawings are held at 11 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday.
To view the list of past winners, visit the Mega Millions website.
In New York, in-store and online ticket sales are available until 10 p.m. on the night of the draw. Mega Millions costs $2 to play. In New Jersey and Connecticut you can purchase a ticket until 10:45 p.m. the night of the draw.
The new multiplier increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or 10 times. The cost of the new multiplier is included in the $5 cost of a ticket. The multiplier value — either 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x — will be randomly selected and printed on the ticket next to each play. This feature replaces the Megaplier, which has been retired.
Match 5 white balls + gold Mega Ball = Jackpot.
Match 5 white balls = $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, $5 million or $10 million.
Match 4 white balls + gold Mega Ball = $20,000, $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 or $100,000.
Match 4 white balls = $1,000, $1,500, $2,000, $2,500 or $5,000.
Match 3 white balls + gold Mega Ball = $400, $600, $800, $1,000 or $2,000.
Match 3 white balls = $20, $30, $40, $50 or $100.
Match 2 white balls + gold Mega Ball = $20, $30, $40, $50 or $100.
Match 1 white ball + gold Mega Ball = $14, $21, $28, $35 or $70.
Match 1 gold Mega Ball = $10, $15, $20, $25 or $50.
The odds of matching the five white balls and Mega Ball to win the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336.
A jackpot winner has the option of taking an annuity or cash payment.
The annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, according to the Mega Millions website. Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one.
“This helps protect winners’ lifestyle and purchasing power in periods of inflation,” according to the Mega Millions website.
The cash option is a one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool.
If two or more people win the jackpot in the same drawing, the money is shared equally among all winning tickets.
In order to purchase a ticket, you’ll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store — and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you will need to pick six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is one number between 1 and 24.
If you believe the odds are against you, ask for a “Quick Pick” or an “Easy Pick,” the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.

(KMDL-FM) The multi-state lottery game, Mega Millions, is entering some rarified territory following Tuesday night's drawing. The lottery game that is played in 45 states around the nation held its Tuesday drawing last night for a jackpot prize of $900 million. That was the estimate on the annuitized jackpot; the cash payout was forecast to be $415.3 million.
To win the jackpot prize, a player would need to match five white balls numbered from 1 to 70. They would also need to match the number on the gold Mega Ball. The numbers on the Mega Ball range from 1 to 24. Match all six of those numbers and the jackpot prize is yours.

Tuesday's jackpot was listed as the 8th largest in Mega Millions history, and as you might imagine, ticket sales over the past few days have been brisk around the country. Since you've got your ticket, let's see how the drawing played out.
Here is the Mega Millions drawing for Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
Host John Crowe did his best to help the numbers rolling out of the hopper create a winner, but there is only so much he can do. Actually, all he can do is look good and announce the numbers, and John does that better than most.
Based on data revealed to us by our sources at Mega Millions, we can confirm that no ticket sold for Tuesday's drawing earned the jackpot prize. There were multiple Match 5 Million winners. Those winning tickets were sold in Iowa, New York, and Arizona.
Based on the new "enhanced" Mega Millions format, the Match 5 Million prizes in Iowa and New York will actually be $3 million, and the Arizona win will be $5 million because of the multipliers that were assigned to those tickets at the time they were purchased.
Doing some quick math based on the winner's data released by the Louisiana Lottery early this morning, it looks as if some 4,500 tickets sold in the state were winners in last night's Mega Millions game. However, to say there were "big winners" might be leaning a little on the "enthusiastic" side. The top prize earned by a Louisiana ticket was just $2,000. Which is $2,000 more than most of us will see via any tariff dividend.
Here are the numbers from Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing:
10   13   40   42   46   Mega Ball 01
The jackpot for Mega Millions is expected to climb to $965 million for Friday's drawing. That's the estimate for the annuitized jackpot; the cash payout is estimated to be $445.3 million.
Tonight's Powerball lottery will draw for an annuitized estimated jackpot of $512 million. And Lotto from the Louisiana Lottery, best bet on the board if you ask me, is $3.66 million. A Powerball ticket costs $2; that's $3 if you want Power Play. The Lotto tickets are just a buck.
Remember that all lottery games include a risk of losing money. If you have a gambling problem, help is available by calling 1-877-770-STOP (7867). The call and the referral to counseling are free for you and your family. Good Luck.
