The $165 million Mega Millions jackpot has its latest set of winning numbers following Friday’s drawing. Players should immediately check tickets for the following combination:
- Main numbers: 01, 13, 28, 37, 46
- Mega Ball: 10
- Megaplier: 2×
While no national jackpot winner has been confirmed yet, thousands might hold secondary prizes boosted by the 2× Megaplier active in participating states. Lottery officials remind players that winnings above $600 require in-person claims at authorized centers.
‘A single ticket could change someone’s life overnight. We urge all players to sign their tickets and verify results cautiously,’ warns Mega Millions spokesperson Laura Johnson.
Friday’s jackpot marks the sixth consecutive rollover this month, pushing interest to its highest level since January. The next drawing on Tuesday now climbs to an estimated $182 million. Eighty-seven percent of all prizes under $1 million go unclaimed annually, according to recent lottery audits. Winners have 180 days to collect payments, though tax withholdings of 24% apply immediately for U.S. citizens.
Analysts note the current 1 in 302 million odds haven’t deterred ticket buyers, with sales surging 48% hours before Friday’s deadline. For those discovering partial matches, payouts range from $2 (matching just the Mega Ball) to $1 million for five correct numbers without the multiplier.
