Mega Millions: No Jackpot Winner on June 6, Next Drawing Soars!
The Mega Millions jackpot remains unclaimed after the drawing on Friday, June 6, 2025. While dreams of a $223 million payday (with a $99.4 million cash option) danced in the heads of hopeful players, no one managed to match all six winning numbers.
Winning Numbers for June 6, 2025
The numbers drawn on Friday were 16, 40, 54, 56, and 57, with a Mega Ball of 3. Even with the multiplier at 3x, fortune didn't favor anyone enough to claim the grand prize.
No Jackpot, But Check Your Tickets!
Although the jackpot wasn't won, it's still essential to check your tickets carefully. You could be a winner of one of the other prize tiers. Matching even just the Mega Ball wins you a prize! Matching one of the five numbers and the Mega Ball also pays out.
Jackpot Rolls Over to $243 Million!
Because no one hit the jackpot, the prize money rolls over to the next drawing, scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2025. The estimated jackpot is now a staggering $243 million, with a cash option of $108 million. This is definitely one you don't want to miss!
