Tuesday night’s winning numbers
The winning numbers for the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 were:
White balls: 10 – 15 – 16 – 27 – 64
Mega Ball: 23
The drawing was held at 11:00 p.m. ET, with a jackpot of $300 million (cash value $124.1 million) up for grabs.
Did anyone win the jackpot?
No. There were no jackpot-winning tickets sold for the September 29 drawing — nobody matched all five white balls plus the Mega Ball.
The $1 million second-tier prize (matching all five white balls but not the Mega Ball) also went unclaimed, with no Match 5 winners reported in any multiplier category.
There were, however, eight winning tickets in the $10,000 third tier (four white balls plus the Mega Ball):
- 3 tickets at the 2x multiplier
- 2 tickets at the 3x multiplier
- 2 tickets at the 4x multiplier
- 1 ticket at the 10x multiplier
Every other prize tier saw thousands of winners nationwide, from $10 up to the higher non-jackpot tiers.
The jackpot rolls to $321 million
With no jackpot winner, the Mega Millions jackpot climbs to an estimated $321 million for the next drawing on Friday, October 2, 2026, with a cash option of $131.1 million.
That’s the kind of run that gets people talking — and it means Friday night’s drawing is one of the bigger jackpots of the season so far.
How Mega Millions works
If you’re new to the game, here’s the quick version. A ticket costs $5. You pick five white ball numbers from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball from 1 to 24 — or let the terminal pick for you with a Quick Pick.
Drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET. There are nine ways to win, with prizes starting at $10 and the jackpot reserved for anyone who matches all five white balls plus the Mega Ball. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 23; the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336.
You can also add the Megaplier option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. The multiplier for each drawing is selected before the main numbers are drawn.
What to do if you won
First: sign the back of your ticket immediately, and keep it somewhere safe. Jackpot winners typically have the option of an annuity paid over 30 years or a one-time lump-sum cash payment — a decision worth talking through with a financial adviser before you claim.
Claim periods vary by state, so check your state lottery’s rules for deadlines. Prizes of $599 or less can usually be claimed at any authorised retailer; larger prizes need to be claimed at a lottery district office or headquarters.
If you played online through your state lottery’s official app or website, your winnings are usually credited to your account automatically for smaller prizes.
Looking ahead to Friday
Friday night’s $321 million drawing (cash value $131.1 million) is the one to watch. Tickets must be purchased before your state’s sales cut-off time on Friday — those cut-offs vary, but many states stop sales around 10:45 p.m. ET, so don’t leave it until the last minute.
Check your tickets after the drawing, and as always — confirm your numbers against the official results on megamillions.com or your state lottery’s website.
