Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $637 Million Ahead of Tuesday's Draw

The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to an estimated $637 million, having crossed the $600 million mark. No ticket matched all six numbers in the Friday, July 10, 2026 drawing, 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 $278 million.

The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 11:00 PM ET. Mega Millions draws are held on Tuesdays and Fridays. In the July 10 draw, the numbers were 2, 39, 44, 46 and 56 with Mega Ball 23 - a combination no one matched in full, though a ticket sold in Florida hit all five white balls for a second-tier prize.

At an estimated $637 million, this is one of the larger Mega Millions jackpots in the game's history, though still well 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.
