Mega Millions Jackpot Soars to $707 Million Ahead of Tuesday's Draw

The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an estimated $707 million, having crossed the $700 million mark. No ticket matched all six numbers in the Friday, July 17, 2026 drawing - and none even matched the five white balls - sending the top prize rolling once more. The advertised figure is the annuity jackpot; the one-time cash option is smaller, currently estimated at about $307 million.

The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 11:00 PM ET. Mega Millions draws are held on Tuesdays and Fridays. In the July 17 draw, the numbers were 22, 34, 45, 48 and 55 with Mega Ball 14 - a combination no one matched, continuing a rollover streak that has pushed the prize into rare territory.

At an estimated $707 million, this is one of the largest Mega Millions jackpots in the game's history, though still short of the all-time record of $1.602 billion set in 2023. The odds of matching all six numbers to win the jackpot are roughly 1 in 290 million. Jackpots can keep climbing until a single ticket finally lands the top tier.

You do not need to live in the United States to play Mega Millions. A licensed lottery courier buys an official ticket on your behalf, so you enter the same draw for the same jackpot - pick five main numbers and a Mega Ball and choose your drawing. Always confirm the current jackpot and draw time with the official operator before playing.
