After no one matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball in the Tuesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day Mega Millions drawing, the jackpot jumped from $900 million to $965 million overnight, eventually reaching $980 million for Friday, Nov. 14. If the drawing rolls over, it'll certainly become another billion-dollar jackpot.

Whether or not anyone wins the billion-dollar Powerball jackpot on Saturday, at least one of the losers might already be known: Mega Millions.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Mega Millions lottery has selected winning numbers in its drawing for Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, for a jackpot of $80 million. The winning numbers are 20-24-46-59-65 Mega Ball 7.

After no ticket matched the winning numbers drawn in Wednesday's Powerball drawing, the jackpot has now grown to an estimated $1.5 billion — the seventh largest jackpot in the history of Mega Millions and Powerball, with eight of the top 10 jackpots occurring since 2022.

The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated $1.5 billion after nobody held the grand prize ticket in Wednesday’s drawing.

The Powerball jackpot leaped to an estimated $1.5 billion after no one won Wednesday night's pot of gold of approximately $1.25 billion.
