The Mississippi Lottery Corporation just hit a major milestone. Their flagship game, Mississippi Match 5, reached its 1,000th draw. And they're celebrating with the biggest jackpot in the game's history.

Mississippi Match 5 breaks records at $925,000

The jackpot climbed to $925,000. That's the largest prize since the game launched in April 2021.

This marks the 48th drawing since someone last won the jackpot. The last winner took home $141,000 on April 12, 2025. The previous record holder was $905,168, won on February 7, 2023, at Sprint Mart #4136 in West Point.

How does Mississippi Match 5 work? The jackpot rolls over every night until someone wins. Then it resets to $50,000. Tickets cost $2. Players can add a $1 multiplier to boost non-jackpot prizes.

Jeff Hewitt, President of the Mississippi Lottery Corporation, said:

"This is a landmark moment for Mississippi Match 5. The escalating jackpot reflects the enthusiasm of our players and the game's increasing appeal."

Could Mississippi see its first Match 5 millionaire? If tonight's drawing produces no winner, that milestone becomes very real.

Lotto America climbs toward historic territory

The multi-state Lotto America jackpot reached $37.22 million. That makes it the second-largest prize in the game's history. The cash option stands at $16.36 million.

This jackpot built momentum over 169 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. The last jackpot winner emerged on April 1, 2023. An Iowa player claimed the game's record $40.03 million annuitized jackpot.

Lotto America operates in 15 states. Drawings happen three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Tickets cost $1. The All Star Bonus option costs an extra $1 and multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to five times.

The next drawing takes place on Saturday, May 31, at 10:15 p.m. ET.

Pink Panther promotion crowns final winners

The Pink Panther Diamond Tripler Bonus Promotion concluded Thursday, May 29. The final drawing included all previous non-winning entries, giving participants multiple chances at prizes.

Winners came from across Mississippi:

  • $25,000 winner in Jackson
  • $15,000 winner in Mantee
  • $10,000 winner in Jackson
  • $100 Digital Gift Card winners in Southaven, Tutwiler, Hattiesburg, Petal, and Columbus

All Bonus Promotion entries automatically enter the game's $100,000 2nd Chance Promotional drawing once the game ends.

Other jackpot updates

Tonight's Mega Millions jackpot sits at $189 million. The cash value equals $82.7 million.

Saturday's Powerball jackpot reaches $207 million. The cash option stands at $91 million.

What drives these massive jackpots? Player participation creates momentum. Each rollover builds excitement. Excitement drives more ticket sales.

The 168极速赛车官方入口:Mississippi Lottery continues expanding its reach. Could we see even bigger jackpots ahead? The numbers suggest that's exactly what's happening.
