**New York, NY (March 19, 2025)** – A massive $301 million Mega Millions jackpot was on the line Tuesday night, but no one matched all six numbers. The winning numbers for the March 18th drawing were 27-28-31-32-33, with a Mega Ball of 24 and a 3x Megaplier.

The last jackpot winner, a lucky Arizona resident, claimed a $113 million prize on January 17th. This latest drawing marks the continuation of a multi-week jackpot roll-over.

Lottery officials confirmed that no one won the top prize, leaving the pot to grow for the next drawing on Friday, March 21st. The odds of winning the jackpot remain a daunting 1 in 302,575,350.

Players can purchase tickets for $2, with an optional $1 Megaplier add-on that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. Ticket sales in New York end at 10 p.m. on drawing nights, while New Jersey and Connecticut offer a slightly later cutoff at 10:45 p.m.

The Mega Millions website offers a full breakdown of prize amounts for various matching number combinations, ranging from $4 for matching one white ball and the Mega Ball to $10,000 for matching four white balls and the Mega Ball. Jackpot winners can choose between an annuity paid out over 30 years or a lump-sum cash payment.

The next Mega Millions drawing will be held at 11 p.m. on Friday. Players can purchase tickets at participating retailers or, in select states, online. For those who prefer not to choose their own numbers, a “Quick Pick” option randomly selects numbers for the player.
