Ohio Mega Millions: Live Winning Numbers, Megaplier & Player Guide
Welcome to the live results platform and official guide for Ohio Mega Millions. Mega Millions is drawn twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday nights at 11:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), with ticket sales closing at 10:45 PM ET on drawing nights across Ohio. With a starting jackpot of $20 million that accumulates after every drawing without a top-tier winner, Mega Millions routinely reaches monumental jackpot figures and has produced six historic billion-dollar payouts, including an all-time record jackpot of $1.602 billion.
Ohio holds a special place in Mega Millions history: on May 15, 2002, Ohio was one of the founding expansion states when The Big Game rebranded and expanded into "The Big Game Mega Millions" (alongside New York). Over more than two decades of play, Ohio has seen numerous legendary jackpot winners. In December 2019, the Great Hope Trust claimed a breathtaking $372 million Mega Millions jackpot on a ticket sold at a Giant Eagle supermarket in Mentor, Ohio. Other historic Ohio wins include a $149 million prize won in May 2014 and a $202 million jackpot sold in Columbus in November 2015, alongside countless $1 million to $5 million Match 5 winners statewide.
Mega Millions is played using a dual-matrix system: players select 5 white balls from 1 to 70 and 1 gold Mega Ball from 1 to 24. The odds of matching all six balls to win the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, while the overall odds of winning any cash prize are 1 in 24.0. Players in Ohio can enhance non-jackpot prizes by selecting the Megaplier option for an additional $1.00 per play. The Megaplier number (2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x) is drawn before the main numbers, multiplying non-jackpot prizes by that factor. Notably, matching all 5 white balls with the Megaplier added awards up to $5,000,000 in cash.
Ticket proceeds from Mega Millions directly empower Ohio’s public education system through the Lottery Profits Education Fund (LPEF), providing vital financial backing for classrooms, computer labs, educational technology, and specialized student programs in 610+ local school districts. Prizes won in Ohio are valid for 180 days from the drawing date. Under Ohio open records statutes, individual winner names are public records, though winners can legally claim their payouts via a blind Trust or corporate entity. Prizes greater than $5,000 are subject to 24% federal tax withholding and 3.99% Ohio state income tax withholding.
