Orlando, Florida – The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an impressive $423 million amid a recent frenzy surrounding the Powerball lottery, which witnessed record-setting excitement with two winning tickets for a staggering $1.79 billion jackpot. With this new Mega Millions drawing set for 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, the cash option for the jackpot totals $196.5 million.
The winning numbers from the last Mega Millions drawing held on September 19, 2025, were 2-22-27-42-58, with the Mega Ball being 8. This drawing comes after the previous one on September 16, 2025, which produced winning numbers of 10-14-34-40-43 and a Mega Ball of 5. Players in Florida, where lottery tickets cost $5 each, are engaged in a race towards the next drawing, eager to snatch the escalating jackpot.
The Mega Millions jackpot has not been won since June 27, 2025, when a ticket purchased in Virginia matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball for a payout of $348 million. To win the Mega Millions jackpot, participants must match all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball, contending with odds of 1 in 290,472,336.
In related news, the Powerball continues to generate buzz nationwide with the most recent winning numbers drawn on September 17, 2025, which were 7-30-50-54-62 with a Power Ball of 20. The current Powerball jackpot stands at approximately $81 million, with a cash option available at $37.9 million. The enthusiasm for both lottery games illustrates a significant interest among players, especially following the Powerball’s groundbreaking $1.79 billion jackpot.
Lottery tickets are available for purchase at authorized retailers across Florida, including convenience stores and gas stations. Winning players need to be aware of the timelines for claiming prizes. Florida Lottery prizes must be claimed within 180 days (or six months) from the drawing date. For those opting for a single payment cash option, winnings must be claimed within 60 days following the draw date.
It’s also important to note the regulations surrounding lottery winners in Florida. According to state law, information about winners—including names and cities of residence—becomes public record. However, winners of amounts exceeding $250,000 can choose to remain anonymous for a temporary period of 90 days.
Since records began, there have been a total of 13 lottery jackpots that reached or exceeded the $1 billion mark. Notably, only one jackpot has crossed the $2 billion threshold, further fueling the excitement around these life-changing lotteries.
The Florida Lottery, which hosts multiple draw games including both Mega Millions and Powerball, captures the attention of many, contributing to the state’s vibrant gaming culture. Players not only participate for the chance of winning substantial prizes but also for the thrill and entertainment these lotteries provide.
The upcoming Mega Millions drawing will undoubtedly keep participants eagerly anticipating the results, as they hope to become the next jackpot winner.
