TRENTON (November 3, 2025) – The Mega Millions jackpot’s march toward $1 billion continues. No winner matched the five white balls and the Gold Mega Ball during the weekend to secure the jackpot, which is now $800 million heading into Tuesday’s drawing.

There have been four Mega Millions jackpots won this year across the country. This is the ninth highest jackpot in game history. The cash value of the prize is $371.7 million. In 2024, a Monmouth County player won a $1.128 billion jackpot, now the sixth highest in game history. The game’s top jackpots:

• $1.602 billion: Aug. 8, 2023, Florida
• $1.537 billion: Oct. 23, 2018, South Carolina

Players don’t have to win the Mega Millions jackpot to win big. After the game rules changed in April to allow a free random multiplier, 15 New Jersey Lottery players have seen their $10,000 base prizes double, triple or quadruple. In early October an Ocean County player won $3 million after getting a 3X multiplier on their $1 million base prize. In June, a Bergen County player saw their $1 million prize jump to $4 million thanks to the multiplier. The Mega Millions prize is just one of several notable jackpots New Jersey players are trying to capture:

• Powerball: The jackpot now stands at $419 million for tonight’s drawing.
• Pick-6: Heading into tonight’s drawing, the jackpot is $2.3 million.
• Jersey Cash 5: The daily game’s jackpot is $173,000. On Saturday, a Hudson County player won the $1.8 million jackpot, the 12th player to win at least $1 million this year.
• Cash4Life: The daily draw game offers “for life” prizes of $1,000 day for life and $1,000 week for life, with cash value options of $7 million and $1 million respectively. In 2025, one player has won the $7 million prize and five have each won $1 million, including the prize won Thursday at a Cranford Krauser’s in Union County. Last week, more than a dozen players in the game won a combined $35,000 in secondary prizes.
