Texas Mega Millions: Live Winning Numbers, Megaplier & Player Guide
Welcome to the live winning numbers platform and comprehensive player guide for Texas Mega Millions. Mega Millions is drawn twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday nights at 10:00 PM Central Time (CT) / 11:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), with ticket sales closing at 9:45 PM CT across Texas. Featuring a minimum starting jackpot of $20 million that rolls over and increases with every drawing without a top-tier winner, Mega Millions has produced some of the largest jackpot payouts in world history, including an all-time high jackpot of $1.602 billion.
The Texas Lottery officially joined Mega Millions on December 3, 2003, becoming the very first state outside the original founding group invited to join the multi-state game. Texas holds a legendary place in Mega Millions history: on September 10, 2024, an astonishing $800 million Mega Millions jackpot was won on a single ticket sold at Murphy USA in Sugar Land, Texas (the largest lottery prize ever won by an individual ticket in Texas history!). Earlier in 2004, a group of laboratory workers in Carrollton, Texas claimed a $101 million top prize, followed by hundreds of $1M to $5M Match 5 winners across Texas.
Mega Millions uses a dual-drum format: 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 capture the rolling jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, while the overall odds of winning any prize tier are 1 in 24.0. Texas players can enhance non-jackpot cash prizes by choosing the optional Megaplier add-on for $1.00 extra per play. The Megaplier multiplier number (2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x) is drawn prior to the winning balls, multiplying non-jackpot prizes by that amount. Crucially, matching all 5 white balls with the 5x Megaplier awards a massive $5,000,000 in cash!
Mega Millions ticket revenue in Texas supports Texas public education through the Foundation School Program and aids military veterans through the Fund for Veterans' Assistance. Texas players enjoy 0% state income tax on all lottery winnings. Prizes over $5,000 are subject only to 24% federal tax withholding. Winning tickets must be claimed within 180 days from the draw date. Winners of $1 million or more are legally permitted to remain 100% anonymous under Texas state statutes.
