The short version

The last Mega Millions draw, on October 27, 2026, came up 14 · 19 · 21 · 45 · 67 with a Mega Ball of 3. Ignoring the jackpot, a $5 ticket returns $1.12 in prizes on average — 22c on the dollar — and you win something once every 23.1 tickets.

What a ticket has actually been worth

The jackpot is the number on the billboard. This is the other one: what a $5 ticket was worth at each draw, once the lump sum — taking the money now is worth about 42% of the advertised annuity — and the chance of splitting the prize with everyone else who bought in are taken off. It rises as the jackpot rolls — but never as fast, and in this whole run it never rose far enough.

No draw in the run above was a fair bet. The obvious next question is how big the jackpot would have to be — so here is that, as a thing you can drag.

There is no jackpot big enough

Drag it as high as you like. A $5 Mega Millions ticket is worth most at a jackpot of about $2.67 billion — and even there it returns 49 cents on the dollar. Past that it gets worse, because a number that big sells so many tickets that winning it almost certainly means splitting it. The billboard figure was never the problem. What happens to it on the way to you is.

Before tax, which takes more — our calculator does that properly. Ticket sales are the one estimated input, and they are fitted to this game alone: Published Powerball and Mega Millions national sales figures. Only the sharing step depends on them.

Has any combination ever repeated?

No. Every one of the 2,552 Mega Millions draws on record has had a different set of main numbers — there are 290,472,336 possible tickets, so the history has barely scratched them. Put your line in the checker to see every draw it would have won, what those wins were worth, and the closest it has come.

Is a ticket worth it?

Ignoring the jackpot, a $5 Mega Millions ticket returns $1.12 on average — 22 cents on the dollar. That already includes the built-in 3×-on-average multiplier applied to every non-jackpot prize since April 8, 2025. The jackpot adds to that, though less than the headline suggests: the ticket sales that grow a big jackpot also make a win likely to be shared. The whole curve is here.

For comparison, a scratcher usually returns more per dollar, and which one depends on your state: pick your state for the best ticket on sale where you buy.

Lottery results by state

One Mega Millions drawing for all 46 lotteries that sell it, but not one ticket: the price, the add-ons on sale and what the state withholds from a win differ, so each state's page shows its own latest results next to what a Mega Millions ticket is worth there.
