Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches Historic $843 Million, Longest Streak Since 2002
8 Nov
Summary
- Mega Millions jackpot now 8th largest in game's history
- Jackpot has not been won since June 27, a 38-draw streak
- Over 11.7 million winning tickets awarded during this run
As of November 8th, 2025, the Mega Millions jackpot has reached a historic high of $843 million, making it the eighth largest in the game's history. This comes after a 38-draw streak without a winner, the longest such streak since the game's inception in 2002.
The previous record of 37 drawings without a jackpot winner was set on January 22nd, 2021, when a $1.050 billion prize was won in Michigan. While the top prize has remained elusive, the number of winners and total prizes awarded have continued to grow during this current run.
According to lottery officials, there have been almost 11.7 million winning tickets at all prize levels, with total winnings exceeding $274 million. This is due in part to significant enhancements made to the lower-tier prizes after the game was updated last April.
The upcoming drawing on November 10th, 2025, is expected to generate significant excitement and anticipation across the 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands where Mega Millions is played. Tickets for a single play cost $5, and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336.
