Mega Millions Jackpot Estimated at $243 Million After No Winners

ATLANTA, GA — The Mega Millions lottery jackpot reached an estimated $243 million for the drawing on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, after no tickets matched all six numbers in the previous draw on June 6. The cash option for the jackpot stands at $108 million.

The winning numbers from the June 6 drawing were 16, 40, 54, 56, 57, and the Mega Ball was 3. No ticket holders won the Mega Millions jackpot or any of the Match 5 prizes, prompting the increase in the jackpot amount.

To participate in Mega Millions, players must select six numbers: five white balls from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Players can also opt for a Quick Pick, where numbers are randomly generated by a computer.

Recent updates to the Mega Millions system included the introduction of a built-in multiplier, allowing players to increase their non-jackpot prizes by as much as 10 times without any additional charge. However, before this change, participants had to pay an extra dollar for the “Megaplier” option.

Lottery tickets can be purchased in person at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and some grocery stores. In several states, online purchases are also available through platforms like the Jackpocket app, which enables players to order their tickets, select numbers, and manage their winnings all digitally.

The deadline for purchasing tickets varies by state, so potential players are encouraged to buy their tickets well in advance of the drawing time. As excitement builds, the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot stand at 290,472,336 to 1.

With a total of 45 participating states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Mega Millions lottery continues to capture the attention of many, offering life-changing prizes to those lucky enough to win.
