Mega Millions Jackpot Hits $95M After Friday’s Drawing
The cash option for the January 14 jackpot stands at an estimated $41.6 million before taxes.
Winning Numbers for Friday, January 10
The winning numbers from Friday’s drawing were: 9, 23, 39, 65, 66, with the Mega Ball 22 and a Megaplier of 3X.
Although no one hit the jackpot, several smaller prizes were claimed, including multiple $10,000 winners. However, no tickets matched five numbers for the $1 million prize.
What’s Next for the Jackpot?
The jackpot has been steadily climbing since the last major win of over $1 billion in December 2024. If no one claims the prize on Tuesday, the total could rise even further, drawing more attention and ticket sales nationwide.
According to lottery officials, 2024 saw the fewest Mega Millions jackpots claimed in a single year since the game’s inception in 2002, with just four winners.
How to Play and Win
Players can participate by purchasing a ticket for $2 at authorized retailers or online in select states. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five white balls (1-70) and the gold Mega Ball (1-25). Adding the $1 Megaplier option increases non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.
Tickets for Tuesday’s draw can be purchased until 10:45 p.m. ET on the night of the drawing.
Past Winners and Updates
The last major Mega Millions jackpot was claimed on December 27, 2024, by a lucky California ticket holder, who walked away with over $1 billion. Smaller wins continue to make headlines, including a recent $1 million prize claimed in New Jersey earlier this week.
