Mega Millions Winning Numbers: Check if You Won the Jackpot Worth an Estimated $800 Million
No ticket matched recent drawings, pushing Mega Millions to $800 million and Powerball to $663 million as U.K. players join the game.
- Mega Millions reached $800 million for Tuesday's drawing, while Powerball stands at $663 million ahead of Wednesday's July 29 drawing, with both major jackpots remaining unclaimed after recent play.
- Expanding its reach, Powerball began including British Powerball players last week, with officials noting this expansion will lead to "faster-growing jackpots" as additional ticket sales contribute to the prize fund.
- British winners cannot select a lump-sum payout and receive the jackpot split across 30 annual payments instead, with the prize advertised as £352 million, or approximately $467.8 million.
- Winning Powerball requires overcoming odds of 1-in-292.2 million; if the cash option is selected, winnings drop to $220.7 million after a mandatory 24% federal withholding is applied.
- Winners face a federal marginal rate as high as 37% depending on taxable income, further reducing the cash take-home amount to around $182.9 million, though state taxes may apply depending on residency.
