Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $100 Million: Winning Numbers Revealed!

[City, State] – Dreams of striking it rich came true for at least one lucky person Tuesday night, as the Mega Millions lottery jackpot soared to an estimated $100 million. The winning numbers for the December 23, 2025, drawing are: 15-37-38-41-64, Mega Ball 21.

The last Mega Millions jackpot was won on December 2, when a single ticket holder in New Jersey claimed a $90 million prize.

While the jackpot amount has not yet been determined after tonight, the next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Friday, December 26th, at 11 p.m. Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday. Tickets cost $5.

Mega Millions has recently introduced a new multiplier, replacing the Megaplier, which could significantly boost non-jackpot prizes. Each ticket now features a randomly selected multiplier value (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x) that will be applied to any non-jackpot winnings.

Here’s a breakdown of the prize tiers:

  • Match 5 white balls + Mega Ball: Jackpot
  • Match 5 white balls: $2 million – $10 million (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match 4 white balls + Mega Ball: $20,000 – $100,000 (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match 4 white balls: $1,000 – $5,000 (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match 3 white balls + Mega Ball: $400 – $2,000 (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match 3 white balls: $20 – $100 (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match 2 white balls + Mega Ball: $20 – $100 (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match 1 white ball + Mega Ball: $14 – $70 (depending on the multiplier)
  • Match Mega Ball: $10 – $50 (depending on the multiplier)

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336. Winners have the option of receiving their prize as an annuity paid out over 30 years, or as a one-time cash payment.

To play Mega Millions, pick five numbers between 1 and 70 for the white balls, and one number between 1 and 24 for the gold Mega Ball. If choosing numbers is overwhelming, you can opt for a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” ticket, where the computer randomly selects the numbers for you.

Check your tickets carefully! If you’re the lucky winner, congratulations!
