Did anyone win the jackpot?
No ticket matched all six numbers, so the $403 million jackpot rolls over. The next drawing is Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, at 11 p.m. ET, with an estimated jackpot of $413 million (cash option $170.3 million).
That makes 23 drawings in a row without a jackpot winner since the reset on July 31, 2026.
One ticket matched all five white balls for $5 million.
How the last drawing went
In the previous drawing on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, the winning numbers were 11, 12, 15, 40 and 66, Mega Ball 17. No one hit the jackpot, and no ticket matched all five white balls.
What stood out
- 31 had been missing for 28 drawings; it was last drawn on July 7, 2026.
- 15 repeated from the previous drawing.
- 3 odd and 2 even; 3 low (1–35) and 2 high. The white balls add up to 157.
