Mega Millions numbers: Are you the lucky winner of Friday’s $496 million jackpot?
No ticket matched all six numbers for the $496 million Mega Millions jackpot, which has grown due to no winners since December, officials said.
- Updated March 6, 2026: Mega Millions drew winning numbers 8, 19, 26, 38, 42 and Mega Ball 24 with an estimated jackpot of $496 million and a $232.6 million cash option.
- After a dry spell with no winners since Dec. 2, ongoing rollovers boosted the jackpot after a New Jersey ticket holder claimed $90 million.
- Players pay $5 per play and pick five white balls 1–70 plus one Mega Ball 1–24 or use Quick Pick; odds are 1 in 290,472,336.
- No one won the March 6 drawing, so the jackpot will roll to the next drawing on Tuesday March 10.
- Winners may choose an annuity option with a 5% annual increase or a lump-sum cash option that is lower than the advertised jackpot.
