Mega Millions Jackpot Grows to $145 Million for Tuesday’s Drawing after Valentine’s Day Rollover

DETROIT, Mich. — The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an estimated $145 million following no winner for Friday’s drawing on February 14, 2025. The numbers drawn that night were 11, 19, 31, 49, 56, with the Mega Ball being 16 and a Megaplier of 3x.

This Valentine’s Day drawing saw excitement but ultimately did not produce a jackpot winner, which means the prize rolls over, continuing its climb from $129 million at the start of the week. Two lucky tickets purchased in California and Pennsylvania matched all five white ball numbers, earning each holder a $1 million prize.

The next opportunity to win can be found in the upcoming drawing scheduled for 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday, February 18. As with every Mega Millions game, tickets remain available for purchase until 10:45 p.m. ET on the night of the draw. Tickets cost $2, and players can opt to add a Megaplier for an additional $1, which increases non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

“Mega Millions provides not just a chance at life-changing sums of money, but excitement every drawing night,” said a spokesperson from the Michigan Lottery. “We encourage everyone to play responsibly.”

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot stand at approximately 1 in 302,575,350. Additionally, players can win prizes by matching fewer numbers, with even one matching Mega Ball leading to a $2 win. More details on prize structures can be found on the Mega Millions website.

Lottery drawings are held bi-weekly, every Tuesday and Friday evening. The last jackpot was won on January 17, 2025, before resetting and accumulating a series of rollovers, leading to the current substantial payout.

As the next drawing approaches, millions of players across 45 states and the District of Columbia are preparing for their chance to win big. Tickets for Mega Millions can be purchased at various retailers or online in select states.”
