Lotto results: Mega Millions posts new numbers as Powerball’s Saturday draw nears

Lottery players closed the week with fresh Mega Millions results in hand and another Powerball drawing still ahead later Saturday night. The timing matters because jackpots tend to accelerate quickly after a run of no top-prize winners, and weekend draws often drive a late surge in ticket sales as players look for a clean “check-your-ticket” moment before the new week starts.

As of Saturday, Feb. 7, the biggest U.S. update is the Friday-night Mega Millions draw, while the next Powerball drawing is scheduled for late Saturday night (ET). In Europe, Friday’s EuroMillions draw has also posted results, giving players another set of numbers to verify.

Mega Millions: Friday draw numbers to check

Mega Millions’ Friday, Feb. 6 draw produced a clean spread across the teens, 20s, 50s, and 60s: 13, 21, 25, 52, 62 with Mega Ball 19. With jackpots at this level, many winners typically come from smaller prize tiers, so it can still be worth checking tickets carefully even if the full set doesn’t match.

For players using automated picks, the most common miss is forgetting the Mega Ball requirement for many prize tiers. If you matched some main numbers but not the Mega Ball, you may still have a smaller payout depending on your ticket’s add-ons and local rules.

Powerball: Saturday’s draw is still ahead

Powerball’s next drawing is scheduled for Saturday night, Feb. 7 (ET), with the results expected after the draw completes. If you’re checking earlier in the day, the most recent finalized Powerball results remain from Wednesday, Feb. 4: 27, 29, 30, 37, 58 with Powerball 15, and a Power Play of 2x.

If you’re holding a ticket for Saturday’s draw, it’s worth noting the practical cutoff: most jurisdictions stop sales shortly before the draw, and those deadlines can vary. If timing is tight, confirm your local sales window rather than assuming it matches another state’s.

EuroMillions: Friday evening results posted

For EuroMillions, the Friday, Feb. 6 draw posted 10, 13, 20, 23, 24 with Lucky Stars 6 and 11. The draw takes place in the evening in Europe, which typically lands in mid-afternoon in Eastern Time, so results often arrive earlier for U.S.-based followers than the U.S. lottery draws that happen later at night.

EuroMillions checking tends to trip people up because there are two “star” numbers in addition to the five main numbers. Matching five mains without the stars is still a meaningful result, but it’s not the jackpot tier.

What to do if your ticket looks close

When jackpots are large, many people scan quickly for the top prize and miss smaller wins. A quick, orderly check helps:

• Confirm the draw date first (especially if you buy tickets for multiple draws).

• Verify all main numbers before checking the bonus ball/stars.

• Re-check any ticket with 2–3 matches; those are the ones most likely to hide a smaller prize.

• If you play subscriptions or multi-draw tickets, separate them by game and date before scanning.

What’s next over the weekend

The main near-term update is Powerball’s Saturday-night drawing. If there’s no jackpot winner, the top prize can climb quickly into the next scheduled draw, which often intensifies attention early in the following week.

For players planning ahead, the practical takeaway is simple: know your draw schedule, confirm your ticket’s date, and check the full prize structure for your jurisdiction so you don’t overlook smaller wins.
