Virginia Mega Millions: Live Winning Numbers, Megaplier & Player Guide
Welcome to the live winning numbers platform and comprehensive player guide for Virginia 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 across Virginia. Featuring a starting rolling jackpot of $20 million that increases after every drawing without a top-tier winner, Mega Millions regularly climbs to monumental multi-hundred-million-dollar figures and holds an all-time record jackpot of $1.602 billion.
Virginia holds a special, historic distinction in American lottery history: the Virginia Lottery was one of the six founding charter lotteries that created The Big Game (now Mega Millions) on August 31, 1996, with the very first drawing taking place on September 6, 1996. Over nearly three decades, Virginians have won colossal Mega Millions jackpots. Notable historic wins include Steve and Shannon White of Shenandoah County who won a $200 million jackpot in October 2009, Brian and Mary McCarthy of Fairfax County who won a $107 million jackpot in July 2011, and hundreds of $1M to $5M Match 5 winners across Richmond, Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and Lynchburg.
Mega Millions uses a dual-matrix 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. Virginia 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 main numbers, 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!
100% of Mega Millions net proceeds in Virginia benefit K-12 public education statewide. Winning tickets must be claimed within 180 days from the drawing date. Virginia law protects player privacy by granting complete anonymity to winners of prizes greater than $10,000. Prizes greater than $5,000 are subject to 24% federal tax withholding and 4.0% Virginia state income tax withholding.
