TOPEKA, KAN. – The Mega Millions jackpot has continued its upward march, as the jackpot is set at $714 Million for tonight’s drawing. This will be the 9^th largest jackpot in the history of the game, and the largest Mega Millions jackpot since December 2024.

Mega Millions tickets start at $5 per play, which now includes a randomly assigned multiplier to every play. The multiplier possibilities are 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, and 10X. Players select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 24. There are nine prize tiers, and no breakeven prizes as every ticket includes at least a 2X multiplier.

Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year.
