The Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow after nobody matched all six winning numbers in the Friday, November 13, 2026, drawing. Although the $555 million jackpot remained unclaimed, one lucky ticket holder in New York matched all five white balls and won a $2 million second-tier prize.
The winning Mega Millions numbers were 10, 22, 33, 49 and 57. The Mega Ball was 18.
The next drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17. The estimated jackpot has increased to $600 million, with a cash option of approximately $246.9 million, according to lottery results published by state lottery authorities.
For players checking their tickets, the November 13 results offer another opportunity to see whether they won a prize. Even without a jackpot winner, hundreds of thousands of tickets across participating jurisdictions received payouts.
Mega Millions Winning Numbers for November 13, 2026
The official numbers drawn on Friday, November 13, were:
- White ball 1: 10
- White ball 2: 22
- White ball 3: 33
- White ball 4: 49
- White ball 5: 57
- Mega Ball: 18
Players must match the drawn numbers according to the game’s prize structure to win. Matching all five white balls and the Mega Ball earns the jackpot. Matching five white balls without the Mega Ball qualifies for the second-tier prize, which can increase depending on the multiplier printed on the ticket.
The Texas Lottery and other state lottery authorities published the same November 13 winning numbers. The Texas Lottery’s historical results listed the $555 million jackpot as a rollover, confirming that no ticket won the top prize.
Did Anyone Win the Mega Millions Jackpot?
No. Nobody matched all five white balls and the Mega Ball in the November 13 drawing. As a result, the estimated $555 million jackpot rolled over to the next drawing.
However, the drawing did produce a major second-tier winner. One ticket sold in New York matched all five white balls but missed the Mega Ball. Its 2X multiplier increased the standard $1 million second-tier prize to $2 million.
That distinction matters when checking lottery headlines. A player can win millions without taking home the advertised jackpot. The New York ticket holder secured a substantial prize, but the jackpot remained available for the next drawing.
According to the published national prize breakdown, 340,535 tickets won prizes in the November 13 drawing. That total includes winners across all prize levels, not just the jackpot and second-tier categories.
Next Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $600 Million
The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, 2026. Following Friday’s rollover, the estimated jackpot increased to $600 million.
Players who match all six numbers in the next drawing could choose between two payment options, subject to the game’s official rules and claim procedures.
The advertised jackpot represents the annuity value. Winners who select the annuity receive 30 graduated annual payments, with each payment increasing over time. The alternative is a one-time cash payment.
For the November 17 drawing, the estimated cash option is approximately $246.9 million before applicable taxes.
The difference between the advertised jackpot and the cash value can surprise some lottery players. The advertised amount reflects the estimated value of payments spread over decades. The cash option represents the smaller lump sum available to a winner who chooses immediate payment.
Why the Cash Option Is Lower Than the Advertised Jackpot
Mega Millions winners generally have to decide whether they prefer long-term annual payments or a lump-sum payout.
The annuity option distributes the advertised jackpot over 30 annual payments. These payments are graduated, meaning they increase each year rather than remaining equal.
The cash option provides a single payment based on the available cash value of the jackpot. It is lower than the advertised annuity amount because the two options are calculated differently.
Neither figure represents the final amount a winner necessarily keeps. Federal taxes and, depending on where the ticket was purchased and the winner lives, state or local taxes may reduce the money received.
A potential winner should consult qualified tax and financial professionals before making a payout decision. Lottery claim rules and deadlines also vary by jurisdiction.
How Many Tickets Won Prizes on November 13?
Although the jackpot went unclaimed, the November 13 drawing produced winners across several prize categories.
The published national results reported 340,535 winning tickets. The prize breakdown included:
| Matching numbers | Winning tickets | Base prize before multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Five white balls and Mega Ball | 0 | Jackpot |
| Five white balls | 1 | $1 million |
| Four white balls and Mega Ball | 8 | $10,000 |
| Four white balls | 194 | $500 |
| Three white balls and Mega Ball | 547 | $200 |
| Three white balls | 12,763 | $10 |
| Two white balls and Mega Ball | 11,657 | $10 |
| One white ball and Mega Ball | 90,836 | $7 |
| Mega Ball only | 224,529 | $5 |
The multiplier can increase non-jackpot prizes. For example, the New York ticket that matched five white balls had a 2X multiplier, turning the $1 million base prize into $2 million.
The table shows base prizes. Actual payouts may vary because of the multiplier and state-specific prize rules. California, for example, uses pari-mutuel prize calculations for non-jackpot prizes, so its payouts can differ from fixed amounts in other jurisdictions.
