US Mega Millions results for September 29, 2026: the jackpot and the Match 5 prize both went unwon, and the next draw was advertised at US$321 million.
The US Mega Millions draw of September 29, 2026, ended with the jackpot unwon, and the top prize rolled over again. With this draw included, lottery.fm's own count of consecutive draws without a jackpot winner reached 18. That figure describes the past and nothing more: each draw is independent, and every draw has identical odds.
The jackpot at stake on September 29 was an estimated annuity of US$300 million. With no winner to claim it, the prize carried forward, and the next draw was advertised at US$321 million.
The miss went one tier deeper than the jackpot. The second tier, for matching all five main numbers without the Mega Ball, produced no winners either, so no play on September 29 matched all five. The highest tier that did produce winners was four main numbers plus the Mega Ball, with 8 winners.
That does not mean the night came up empty. Across its prize tiers, the draw recorded 214,458 winners.
Lottery winnings are taxable in the United States. As general information, federal withholding can apply and most states tax winnings too, so the Internal Revenue Service or a tax professional is the right place to ask about a specific prize.
