Mega Millions $800 million jackpot hits 10th‑largest prize

Overview

Following two consecutive rollovers that lifted the Mega Millions prize to an estimated $800 million, the July 24 drawing again produced no jackpot‑winning ticket. The winning numbers were 2‑5‑42‑44‑60 with a gold Mega Ball 1; thirteen tickets secured lower‑tier prizes, but none matched all six numbers. The $800 million pool, now the tenth‑largest in the game’s history, remained unchanged, underscoring the prolonged streak of draws without a top‑prize winner.

Lottery officials reiterated the cash‑lump‑sum option—approximately $453.6 million before taxes—and continued to advise players to sign, securely store, and promptly check their tickets. The update also noted parallel lottery activity in Ireland, Canada and the United Kingdom, reminding participants in those markets of similar ticket‑security practices.

The sustained absence of a Mega Millions jackpot winner extends the pattern of rapid prize escalation that began in late July, keeping the $800 million jackpot in the public eye as the draw schedule progresses.
