No Winner in $800M Mega Millions; Jackpot Climbs to $843M

The dream of an $800 million payday went unclaimed on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, as no ticket matched all six Mega Millions numbers. The jackpot now climbs to an estimated $843 million with a cash option of $391.7 million for the next drawing on Friday, November 7.

Tuesday's Winning Numbers

The winning numbers for the November 4 drawing were:

• White Balls: 11, 14, 17, 50, 57
• Mega Ball: 6

Despite no jackpot winner, players matched smaller prizes across the country. The game's built-in multiplier feature boosted non-jackpot payouts by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x automatically.

Why No Winner? The Odds

With odds of 1 in 290.5 million, hitting the jackpot is statistically improbable. The lack of winner means the prize grows to its 8th-largest Mega Millions jackpot in history, now surpassing the $800 million mark.

"The jackpot continues to grow and is now the game's 8th largest prize of all-time."

How to Play Mega Millions

Players select five numbers from 1 to 70 (white balls) and one number from 1 to 24 (Mega Ball). Each ticket costs $5 and includes the automatic multiplier feature. Here's the prize structure:

• Match 5 + Mega Ball: Jackpot
• Match 5: $2M-$10M (with multiplier)
• Match 4 + Mega Ball: $20K-$100K
• Match 4: $1K-$5K
• Match 3 + Mega Ball: $400-$2K
• Match Mega Ball only: $10-$50

Next Drawing Details

The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Friday, November 7, 2025 at 11:00 PM ET. Tickets can be purchased until 10:45 PM on drawing day. Players can watch the live drawing on YouTube or check results at the official Mega Millions website.

Historic Jackpots

This year has seen massive jackpots, including:

• $1.22 billion (California, December 2024)
• $348 million (Virginia, June 2025)
• $344 million (Illinois, March 2025)

The current $843 million jackpot trails only the top five largest prizes in Mega Millions history, including the record $1.58 billion jackpot won in Florida in 2023.

What to Do If You Win

Winners have two options:

1. Annuity: 30 graduated payments over 29 years (includes immediate payment)
2. Cash Option: One-time lump sum of all jackpot cash

Multiple jackpot winners share the prize equally, and winners have 180 days to claim their prize.

Play Responsibly
