The Mega Millions jackpot stands at an estimated $529 million for Tuesday night’s drawing, after nobody matched all six numbers on Friday.
The next Mega Millions drawing is Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 11 p.m. ET, according to the official Mega Millions site and Sumner County Source. The cash option is $224.2 million before taxes, and the after-tax cash value is estimated at about $141.2 million after federal taxes, according to LuckyPicks’ payout analysis.
The jackpot climbed from $505 million on Friday to $529 million for Tuesday after Friday night’s draw produced no jackpot winner. The winning numbers from Friday, November 6, were 27, 34, 44, 53 and 64, with the Mega Ball 1, according to the official Mega Millions site and USA Today coverage.

The odds — and a correction
The jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336, with overall odds of winning any prize about 1 in 23, according to the game’s published rules. A ticket costs $5, up from $2 before the April 2025 overhaul, and every ticket now includes an automatic multiplier of 2x to 10x. The smallest prize is $10, so every winning combination pays more than the ticket cost. The second-tier prize — matching all five white balls but missing the Mega Ball — is now worth $2 million to $10 million depending on the multiplier.
What a win would actually pay
The $529 million headline is the annuity value, paid over 30 years. Most winners take the lump sum: $224.2 million before taxes. The IRS withholds 24% upfront — about $53.8 million — and the winner could owe up to a further 13% at tax time, depending on their bracket, according to LottoStrategies’ state-by-state payout analysis. State taxes would take another slice on top.
Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia. Tickets must be bought before the draw closes in each state, and players should verify results through official lottery channels.
