Mega Millions Madness: Jackpot Soars to $800 Million!

The Mega Millions frenzy isn’t slowing down — the jackpot has now skyrocketed to a whopping $800 million, making it the eighth-largest in the game’s history. If you’ve got a $5 ticket in hand, you might just be one draw away from millionaire status.

🎯 Next Draw: Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, at 11 p.m. ET
💰 Cash Option: $371.7 million

No one hit the winning combo in the Halloween drawing for $754 million, where the numbers were 2, 24, 52, 66, 68, and the Mega Ball was 9. That miss sent the jackpot soaring into the $800 million zone for tonight’s draw.
