New York – The winning numbers for the Mega Millions jackpot drawn on October 14, 2025, are 57, 22, 49, 12, 58, and a Megaball of 19. This latest drawing features a staggering jackpot of $600 million, with a cash option of $277.2 million for those who prefer a lump sum payout.

The previous Mega Millions jackpot, which stood at $348 million, was won by a player in Virginia on June 27. As player interest continues to grow, ticket prices for Mega Millions have increased to $5 each, a policy change made several months ago. This price adjustment coincided with improvements to the odds of winning, which now stand at 1 in 292 million, a slight improvement from the previous odds of 1 in 302 million.

In addition to the jackpot, players can still win non-jackpot prizes, which are now guaranteed to start at a minimum of $10 for players who do not match all six numbers. Each Mega Millions ticket also comes with a randomly assigned multiplier, which can increase non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times but does not apply to jackpot winnings. Mega Millions is playable across 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
