Mega Millions Jackpot Nears $400 Million as Iowa Player Snags $2M

Jackpot Still Up for Grabs — Next Drawing Set for June 9

The Mega Millions frenzy is heating up again after no one scooped up the big prize last Friday. The jackpot has now soared to a jaw-dropping $392 million, with a tempting cash option of $173.3 million. For those feeling lucky, the next shot at millionaire status happens on Sunday, June 9, at 11 p.m. ET.

During Friday’s drawing on June 5, the winning numbers were 13, 30, 50, 52, and 66, with the gold Mega Ball 2. Even though no ticket matched all six numbers, plenty of players walked away smiling.

The biggest win of the night came out of Iowa, where someone matched all five white balls — just missing the Mega Ball. That near miss still scored them a sweet $2 million prize, thanks to an added multiplier.

Several others across the U.S. also cashed in on smaller but solid winnings. Four players matched four white numbers and the Mega Ball to grab $20,000 each, while two players hit it bigger with multipliers of 3x, collecting $30,000 each. One especially lucky player pulled off a 10x multiplier, walking away with $100,000.

Meanwhile, Powerball seems to be stealing some of the spotlight this year, already delivering five jackpots in 2026. Mega Millions has only crowned two jackpot winners so far — one in Illinois and another in Ohio, who took home $60 million.

Still, as the jackpot now creeps close to the $400 million mark, anticipation is running high across the country. With two chances to strike it rich every week, fans are holding their tickets tight and hoping to be the one who finally breaks the streak.

Tomorrow’s drawing might just make someone’s wildest dreams come true — or keep the Mega Millions hype going into next week.
