Mega Millions jackpot hits $300 million for Sept. 29 draw after no winner in $277 million Sept. 25 drawing with numbers 25-57-58-67-68 and Mega Ball 16. Five players won $20k-$30k secondary prizes. Only three jackpot wins recorded in 2026 so far.
SCCG Take — Persistent rollovers like this one sustain player interest and sales volume even as 2026 jackpot wins remain limited to three.
The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $300 million for the drawing scheduled for September 29 at 11 p.m. ET. A winner would choose between the full annuitized prize or a cash option of $124.1 million.
This follows the September 25 drawing for a $277 million jackpot with a cash value of $117.3 million. No ticket matched all six numbers.
The winning numbers were 25, 57, 58, 67, 68 and Mega Ball 16. No Match 5 prizes were awarded. Five players matched four white numbers plus the Mega Ball. Three won $20,000 each with a 2x multiplier. The other two won $30,000 each with a 3x multiplier.
Since no jackpot winner emerged, the top prize rolled over and grew. The next drawing offers players another chance at the life-changing sum.
According to reporting by GamblingNews, the fourth jackpot win of 2026 has yet to occur. Three jackpots have been awarded this year. The most recent was an $800 million prize in July won by a Florida player after 38 consecutive drawings without a winner. Both earlier jackpots landed in March.
A September 22 drawing awarded a $2 million Match 5 prize to a player in Colorado with numbers 7, 13, 26, 37 and 68. The current buildup keeps the focus on when the next major winner will surface.
