Mega Millions jackpot rolls to $403m with no winner
No one has won the Mega Millions top prize since a Florida player took it in July.
The hit
The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to $403m after no one matched all five numbers in Tuesday’s drawing, according to GamblingNews. The $385m prize on offer went unclaimed, pushing the pot toward the half-billion mark.
Why it matters
Several players matched four white numbers plus the Mega Ball, with the top payout a $40,000 prize won by one player, according to GamblingNews. The winning numbers were 11, 12, 15, 40, 66, with a Mega Ball of 17.
The record
| Current jackpot | $403 million, next drawn Friday, October 16 |
|---|---|
| Lump sum option | $162.1 million one-time payment |
| Top Match 4 + Mega Ball prize | $40,000, won by one player Tuesday |
| Winning numbers, October 13 | 11, 12, 15, 40, 66; Mega Ball 17 |

What happens next
Friday’s draw, October 16, gives players another shot at the growing jackpot, according to GamblingNews. Before last week’s New Jersey ($2m) & Florida ($3m) Match 5 wins, a Wisconsin player won $4m. The Powerball jackpot has reached $562m ahead of its latest drawing.
