Mega Millions jackpot (April 25): How much, when is next drawing and past winning numbers

Everything you need to know about the Mega Millions jackpot and the next drawing for April 25, 2023.

After back-to-back Mega Millions jackpots were hit, no one had a winning ticket for the Friday, April 21 drawing …

… Meaning, the jackpot grows.

So far this year, we’ve had four winning jackpots in January and two in April.

One of the four in January was the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot in history — $1.348 billion to a ticket sold in Lebanon, Maine.

Dreams sure are nice, but this dream has no chance to come true if you don’t play.

Again, you can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket, which conveniently can be done online from your home through Jackpot.com.

The Mega Millions jackpot will vary based on sales and announced before each drawing.

There are 9 ways to win a prize. As mentioned, matching all five white balls in any order and picking the correct gold Mega ball wins the jackpot.

If you correctly pick all five white balls but miss the gold Mega ball, you win $1 million and can win up to $5 million depending on the Megaplier, which is 2x through 5x.

Getting just the Mega ball right wins $2 multiplied by the Megaplier. (See: Mega Millions prize chart).

WHAT IS THE MEGAPLIER?

An additional $1 per play activates the Megaplier, which multiplies prizes by 2, 3, 4 and 5 times.

The Megaplier is randomly selected before each drawing.
