Mega Millions Jackpot Tops $754 Million

Multiple state lotteries (Oregon, Missouri, Idaho, Tennessee, Maine, Georgia, D.C., Pennsylvania and Kansas) published Oct. 28, 2025 draw results and standard winner instructions. The Mega Millions numbers drawn were 2, 19, 33, 53, 61 and Mega Ball 14, with a $754 million annuity prize (about $352.8 million cash option). Winners face a mandatory 24% federal withholding on lump-sum payouts and will likely owe substantially more to federal and any state taxes, which will sharply reduce take-home amounts. Odds of winning are roughly 1-in-290 million after recent game changes; publishers and officials included gambling‑help resources for players. Tickets are available at gas stations, convenience and grocery stores and — in many jurisdictions — via the Jackpocket app, and claim procedures differ by state (many retailers cash small prizes while larger prizes must be claimed by mail or at lottery offices).
