Updated: Saturday, January 25, 2025 01:36 AM
With no winner in the last drawing, the Mega Millions grand prize is going to be worth $44,000,000 (cash option $$19.5 million) the next time the multistate lottery is drawn on Tuesday. The amount carried over because no one hit all 5 white ball numbers plus the Mega Ball number to win the $28,000,000 jackpot Friday night. The winning numbers from Friday night, January 24th, 2025 were 08-12-43-52-62 and the Mega Ball was 18, Megaplier was 2.
While the grand prize was not awarded Friday evening, Mega Millions did produce some big winners. There were a total of 7 3rd prize winning tickets. These included 7 tickets that matched 4 white numbers in addition to the Mega Ball and won $10,000.
Additional prizes won Friday night included 141 tickets that matched four lotto numbers and won $500. Other prizes won included 431 tickets that matched 3 white numbers plus the Mega Ball and won $200.

This results in different prize amounts for equivalent winning tickets sold in the state of California when compared to those sold in other 43 jurisdictons. For instance, the 2nd Mega Millions prizes is a million dollar could pay the winner more than a million dollar due to the pari-mutuel payout system of California lottery.
