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.

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.
