The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday, January 17, 2025, was an estimated $113 million, but as of now, no one has claimed the top prize. This means the jackpot will roll over to the next drawing, increasing the prize amount further.
The winning numbers for the January 17 draw were:
4, 14, 35, 49, 62, and the Mega Ball was 6.
While there were no jackpot winners, there were several lower-tier prizes awarded. The second-tier prize, which requires matching five numbers without the Mega Ball, was worth $1 million. However, no tickets matched all five numbers, meaning the million-dollar prize was not claimed either.
What’s Next for the Mega Millions Jackpot?
With no jackpot winner on January 17, the Mega Millions prize will grow for the next drawing. The jackpot is expected to climb to approximately $120 million for the drawing on Tuesday, January 21, 2025.
Claiming Your Winnings
If you played Mega Millions on Friday, make sure to check your tickets! Even if you didn’t win the jackpot, you could still be holding a winning ticket for one of the smaller prizes.
