Excitement is building as the Mega Millions® jackpot jumps to $600 million for tonight’s drawing.

The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed steadily since it was last won at $348 million in June 2025. It remains the game’s highest jackpot since last year.

Mega Millions is a multi-state draw game. Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 10 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per play, and ticket sales cut off at 9:45 p.m.

To win the jackpot, a player must match the five winning numbers drawn, plus the Mega Ball® number. Depending on their ticket’s multiplier, players can still win between $10 and $10 million for matching only some of the winning numbers.

Five winning tickets worth more than $500 were purchased in Arkansas for last Friday’s drawing. The winning tickets were sold in Little Rock, Royal, West Helena, Mulberry and Fort Smith.

Mega Millions tickets are available for purchase at licensed Arkansas lottery retailers and through retailer apps from the lottery’s Play on the Go partners. For more information about the Play on the Go options, visit the Where to Play page on the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery website.

One Arkansas player has struck some lottery luck.

A winning Powerball® ticket worth $50,000 was sold at Kings River Country Store, located at 22784 Highway 412 in Huntsville, for the Oct. 13 drawing. The winning numbers were 13, 14, 32, 52 and 64, and the Powerball number was 12. The Power Play® multiplier was 2.

This winner matched four out of five winning numbers plus the Powerball number, earning the $50,000 prize. They are one of eight players in the nation to win a prize in this tier.

This ticket is currently unclaimed. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to collect their prize.
