Mega Millions jackpot soars to $1.35 billion – 2nd largest in history – after no winner claimed Tuesday’s prize
An estimated $1.1 billion jackpot, with a cash option of $568.7 million, is up for grabs for Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing.
Mega Millions hasn't seen a jackpot winner since October, causing the game's top prize to grow across 24 consecutive drawings.
The chances of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are extremely slim, with odds standing at 1 in 302.6 million.
los estados donde no pagarías impuestos si ganas el premio mayor del Mega Millions
Dependiendo de dónde hayas comprado tu boleto, esas ganancias pueden variar hasta en $120 millones debido a los impuestos estatales.
Después de semanas sin un ganador, el premio mayor de Mega Millions ahora es de $1.1 mil millones, el tercero más grande en los 27 años de historia de la lotería y el quinto más grande en los EEUU.
Pero dependiendo de dónde hayas comprado tu boleto, esas ganancias pueden variar hasta en $120 millones debido a los impuestos estatales.
Los impuestos federales son los mismos para todos: 24% por adelantado sobre todas las ganancias, aunque la factura total de impuestos casi seguramente será del 37% cuando presentes tu declaración. Eso se debe a que ganar más de $578,125 como soltero o $693,750 como casado que presenta una declaración conjunta activaría la tasa impositiva máxima para 2023.
También se cobran impuestos estatales, pero a diferencia de los impuestos federales, varían mucho según el estado. Por lo general, oscilan entre el 3% y el 6%, pero suben al 10.9% en Nueva York, el nivel más alto cobrado por cualquier estado que participe en la lotería.
Sin embargo, ocho estados no cobran impuestos en absoluto:
California
Florida
New Hampshire
Dakota del Sur
Tennessee
Texas
Washington
Wyoming
Si vives en cualquiera de estos estados, te llevarás a casa el pago máximo. Eso significa $363,421,045 como una suma global en efectivo o una anualidad de 30 años por un total de $694,111,350, según usamega.com.
El pago en efectivo es mucho menor que la anualidad, pero a menudo se elige porque se puede reinvertir de inmediato.
El pago en efectivo es casi $63 millones más en los estados libres de impuestos que en Nueva York, el estado con más impuestos. Para la anualidad, la diferencia es de casi $120 millones.
El lugar donde compra el boleto también es importante: si compras un boleto ganador fuera de tu estado o distrito, estarás sujeto a los impuestos estatales del estado en el que se compró el boleto.
En términos generales, tu estado de origen requerirá que informes las ganancias fuera del estado, pero ofrecerá un crédito o deducción por los impuestos ya pagados a un estado no residente.
Eso significa que un boleto comprado en Oregon, que tiene un impuesto estatal del 8% sobre las ganancias del premio mayor, valdría alrededor de $57 millones menos que un boleto comprado en California, que no cobra impuestos estatales sobre los premios mayores.
AUSTIN – It continues to climb! After there were no winners for Friday night’s Mega Millions® drawing, the jackpot for the Tuesday, Jan. 10 drawing now stands at an estimated annuitized $1.1 billion, the third largest jackpot prize in Mega Millions history and the fifth largest in U.S. lottery history. Tonight’s drawing offers a cash value worth an estimated $576.8 million. If there is no jackpot winner for tonight’s Mega Millions drawing, the jackpot prize for the Friday, Jan. 13 drawing will roll to an estimated annuitized $1.35 billion.
“The Mega Millions jackpot has surpassed $1 billion and now Texas Lottery players are playing for their next chance to become Texas’ next billionaire,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “Mega Millions sales in Texas continue to pour in ahead of tonight’s drawing, which makes Texas public education a big winner during this jackpot run. We want to remind our players to play responsibly and that it only takes one ticket to win. If it appears that you have the jackpot-winning ticket, we encourage you to sign the ticket, put it in a safe place, seek financial and legal advice and call the Texas Lottery to schedule an appointment to claim the prize.”
Tuesday’s drawing will be the 25th in the current Mega Millions jackpot run since starting as an estimated annuitized $20 million for the Oct. 18, 2022 drawing. This is the largest Mega Millions jackpot up for grabs since the July 29, 2022 drawing when it reached an advertised $1.28 billion – the game’s second-largest jackpot prize, which was won by an out of state player. A second-tier prize worth $1 million from that drawing has yet to be claimed by a Texas Lottery player and will expire on Jan. 25 at 5 p.m. local time if not claimed by the deadline. The winning ticket for the unclaimed prize was sold at Fuel Maxx #47, located at 420 University Drive, in Prairie View. A winning ticket worth $1 million for the same drawing was sold in Plano and has recently been claimed.
Texas has had 13 Mega Millions jackpot prize winners since it joined the game in 2003. Its most recent jackpot winner came in September 2019 when a Leander resident won an estimated annuitized $227 million, the largest prize ever paid out to a single Texas Lottery player.
In 2022, 13 Texas Lottery players won second-tier Mega Millions prizes of $1 million or larger. During the current jackpot roll, three Texas Lottery players have won second-tier Mega Millions prizes of $1 million or larger. A Whitesboro resident claimed a $3 million second-tier prize for the drawing held on Nov. 1, 2022. More recently, two second-tier prize winning tickets worth $1 million each were sold at the same retailer – Luck Zone, located at 1250 E. Palm Valley Blvd., in Round Rock – for the Dec. 20, 2022 and Jan. 3, 2023 drawings. Both of those prizes are yet to be claimed.
Mega Millions is played by choosing five numbers from a field of 70 and one Mega Ball number from the second field of 25 numbers. To win the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn including the Mega Ball. Players matching fewer numbers may not win the jackpot, but could still walk away winners. Mega Millions currently offers a $20 million starting jackpot and a second-tier (Match 5+0) prize of $1 million. By choosing the Megaplier® feature for $1 more per Play, players can multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times, winning as much as $5 million.
Drawings are broadcast each Tuesday and Friday at 10:12 p.m. CT. Texas Lottery players can purchase Mega Millions tickets at more than 20,000 Texas Lottery retailers across the state. Ticket sales for the next Mega Millions drawing will close at 9:45 p.m. CT on Tuesday, Jan. 10. The retailer that sells a jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket may be eligible to receive up to a $1 million retailer bonus.

“Con 1.350 millones, el bote de Mega Millions está aumentando y haciendo historia como el segundo más alto en la historia de Mega Millions”, afirmó Pat McDonald, director de la lotería de Ohio y máximo responsable de Mega Millions Consortium, en la nota.
Solo otro sorteo de Mega Millions tuvo un bote más alto: un boleto ganó 1.530 millones en Carolina del Sur en 2018, indicó Mega Millions.
El premio más alto repartido por la lotería en Estados Unidos hasta la fecha fueron los 2.040 millones que ganó un único boleto de Powerball vendido en California en noviembre.
El nuevo premio gordo será para un ganador que elija cobrar mediante una anualidad durante 29 años. Casi todos los ganadores optan por un pago inmediato a pesar de que es menor y que para el sorteo del viernes se estima en 707,9 millones de dólares.
Han pasado 25 sorteos en el plazo de tres meses desde la última vez que un jugador sacó la combinación ganadora.
A pesar de las bajísimas probabilidades de ganar — una en 302,6 millones — los jugadores siguen comprando boletos a medida que el bote aumenta.
Mega Millions se juega en 45 estados, así como en Washington, D.C. y en las Islas Vírgenes estadounidenses.
Here are Tuesday’s winning Mega Millions numbers for the $1.1B jackpot
The jackpot will grow, America.
The Mega Millions prize has grown again to an estimated $1.35 billion after there was no winner for Tuesday's biggest prize.
The estimated $1.35 billion jackpot prize would only be distributed to a winner who chooses an annuity paid over 29 years. Nearly all jackpot winners take a cash payout, which for Friday night’s drawing is an estimated $707.9 million.
The game's top prize has climbed to this historic amount because no one has won the Mega Millions jackpot since October – causing the prize to grow across 25 consecutive drawings.
The chances of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are extremely slim, with the odds standing at 1 in 302.6 million.
The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $1.35 billion – the second-largest in the lottery’s history – after no winner snagged the big prize in Tuesday night’s drawing, officials said.
That’s a boost from Tuesday’s jackpot of $1.1 billion, which saw no tickets match all six winning numbers of 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and the Mega Ball 9.
While no ticket matched the jackpot drawing, 16 won the game’s second-tier prize taking home up to $3 million.
The drawing for the $1.35 billion prize, roughly $707.9 million in cash, is scheduled for Friday night. If won, it would be second only to a $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot won in South Carolina in 2018, the lottery said.
“While many consider Friday the 13th an unlucky day, it has been rewarding for Mega Millions players over the years, with six previous jackpots won on such a day. There’s a chance for another this Friday, and it’s a big one!” the lottery said in a news release early Wednesday.
Michigan seems to have been a lucky charm for Friday the 13th drawings; four jackpots were won in the state in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2017, with the most recent one shared with a Rhode Island winner, the Mega Millions said.
Other prizes won on Friday the 13th were in New York in 2009 and Ohio in 2015.
The Mega Millions’ massive jackpot topped the billion-dollar mark after nearly three months with no winning ticket drawn.
The last jackpot was won at $502 million on October 14, when two winning tickets from California and Florida claimed the prize, the Mega Millions said. Since then, more than 33 million winning tickets have been sold, including 68 players who took home $1 million or more, lottery added.

(NEXSTAR) – Lottery fever is here again with yet another jackpot worth more than $1 billion up for grabs Tuesday – this is the third time within the past year a multi-state game has become so massive.
Without a winner Friday, the Mega Millions jackpot has ballooned to $1.1 billion. If a ticket matches Tuesday’s winning numbers, seen below, the winner will hold the third-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history and the fifth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
The winning numbers for Tuesday’s drawing are 7, 13, 14, 15, 18, and gold ball 9.
Before the drawing, officials estimated the cash option to be $568.7 million.
Mega Millions: Can a jackpot winner remain anonymous? Not in these states
The jackpot hasn’t been hit since October when winners in California and Texas split a $502 million prize. There have been second-tier winners, though, claiming prizes worth $1 million or more, in 20 different states.
Last year, a record-setting Mega Millions jackpot worth $1.4 billion was claimed in Illinois. It was the nation’s third-largest lottery prize for nearly four months until a Powerball ticket sold in California matched the winning numbers for a $2.04 billion jackpot.
While your chances at any of the nine possible Mega Millions prizes are 1 in 24, your chances of winning the Mega Millions jackpot is 1 in 302,575,350, according to game officials.
If there is no winner following Tuesday’s drawing, lottery officials said Tuesday the jackpot could reach $1.3 billion, pushing it nearer to the next-largest Mega Millions jackpot, the $1.4 billion jackpot hit in Illinois last year. There are, however, a number of factors that will impact just how large the jackpot becomes.
Mega Millions winning numbers for 1/10/23
The winning numbers for Tuesday night's drawing were 7, 13, 14, 15, 18, Mega Ball: 9 and Megaplier was 3X.
Did anyone win Mega Millions Tuesday night?
The jackpot will grow to an estimated $1.35 billion after there was no winner of the lottery’s latest giant jackpot.
The next chance is Friday the 13th
Superstitious lottery players might keep a careful eye out for Mega Millions' next drawing, which falls on Friday the 13th.
According to Mega Millions, over the years, six of the game's jackpots have been won on a Friday the 13th.
Friday will also mark seven years after three tickets split the then-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. On Jan. 13, 2016 (unfortunately a Wednesday, not a Friday), three winners − including one in Melbourne Beach − cashed in on the $1.586 billion Powerball prize.
