The Mega Millions jackpot has risen to $403 million after no winner in the October 13 drawing. Friday’s draw offers a $162.1 million cash option. Recent Match 5 wins hit $2M in New Jersey, $3M in Florida and $4M in Wisconsin, with the last jackpot claimed in July for $800M while Powerball sits at $562M.
SCCG Take — This rollover demonstrates how lottery prize pools expand rapidly absent winners, sustaining engagement across competing games like Powerball.
The Mega Millions jackpot has grown to $403 million after no top prize winner emerged from the Tuesday drawing, which carried an estimated $385 million prize.
The next drawing is set for Friday, October 16. A winner, if one emerges, would choose between the full annuity or a one-time lump sum payment of $162.1 million.
The winning numbers drawn on October 13 were 11, 12, 15, 40, and 66, with the Mega Ball at 17. No player matched all five white balls for a Match 5 prize.
Several players did match four white numbers plus the Mega Ball, securing five-figure payouts. Five players won $20,000 each with a 2x multiplier. One player won $30,000 with a 3x multiplier. One player won $40,000 with a 4x multiplier.
Two players won Match 5 prizes last week: a New Jersey player claimed $2 million and a Florida player won $3 million. A Wisconsin player had won a $4 million Match 5 prize shortly before those.
The most recent full jackpot win came in July, when a Florida player received $800 million. The Powerball jackpot has reached $562 million ahead of its next drawing, according to GamblingNews.
