Mega Millions winning numbers for Feb. 13: 34, 40, 49, 59, 68 and Mega Ball 1 — any jackpot winners?
Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing produced the numbers 34, 40, 49, 59 and 68, with the Mega Ball 1. The advertised jackpot for the drawing was $385 million, with a cash option of $174. 2 million. Lottery officials have not confirmed a jackpot hit in the immediate aftermath of the drawing.
Friday's winning numbers
The six numbers drawn on Feb. 13 were: 34, 40, 49, 59 and 68, plus the Mega Ball 1. Players should check their tickets carefully against those numbers and follow local instructions for validating smaller prizes.
Was there a jackpot winner?
No verified jackpot winner had been announced right after the drawing. If no ticket matched all five white balls and the Mega Ball, the jackpot will carry over to the next drawing and increase. State lottery offices and lottery officials will certify any jackpot-winning ticket once it is validated.
How secondary prizes and the Mega Ball work
Matching the Mega Ball alone secures a prize; the amount varies depending on the drawing’s multiplier. Tickets that match just two white balls without the Mega Ball do not win a prize. A ticket that matches one white ball plus the Mega Ball pays a modest prize that can be increased when the Megaplier option is in play. The advertised jackpot is an annuity amount; winners may opt for a one-time cash payout instead.
Odds, ticket cost and drawing schedule (Eastern Time)
A Mega Millions play costs $5. Odds of winning the jackpot stand at roughly 1 in 290 million. Drawings take place twice weekly: Tuesdays and Fridays, typically at about 11: 12 p. m. ET. If no jackpot winner is declared, the top prize grows for the following drawing.
What winners should do next
If you hold a ticket that matches all six numbers, do not sign it and secure it immediately. Winners should contact their state lottery office for official claim procedures and guidance on professional advisers, including lawyers and financial planners. Smaller prizes can usually be claimed at authorized retail locations or through state lottery claim centers; rules and deadlines vary by state.
What to watch for next
If the jackpot was not hit on Feb. 13, expect the top prize to rise for the next scheduled drawing. Watch for official confirmation from lottery officials about any jackpot claims and prize validations. Whether you play with selected numbers or a Quick Pick, remember the odds and play responsibly.
