Mega Millions Numbers: Are You the Lucky Winner of Friday’s $234 Million Jackpot?

The $234 million jackpot grew after no winners matched all numbers in the prior drawing; winners can opt for a $105.1 million cash payout, officials said.

  • On Friday, Aug. 22 the Mega Millions drawing produced a $234 million jackpot with winning numbers 18-30-44-48-50; Mega Ball 12.
  • The jackpot rose because no one matched all six numbers on Tuesday, Aug. 19, and this year has seen four winners, including a June 27 Virginia win of $348 million.
  • Players pick six numbers and pay $5 for tickets that include a built-in multiplier boosting non-jackpot prizes by 2x–10x; Jackpocket offers online orders in covered states.
  • The next drawing is Tuesday, Aug. 26, and jackpot winners must choose between an annuity—one immediate payment plus 29 annual payments, each 5% larger—or a lump sum; if no one wins, the jackpot will climb for the next drawing.
  • Rule changes reduced the Mega Ball pool from 25 to 24, improving jackpot odds to 1 in 290,472,336; Mega Millions includes top jackpots like $1.602 billion won on Aug. 8, 2023.
