Moss Point, Miss. – A Mega Millions ticket sold in Moss Point is worth $2 million after the Megaplier was applied. The holder matched all five white balls to claim the base $1 million prize, which was doubled to $2 million thanks to the 2x Megaplier. The winning ticket was purchased at the Pilot Travel Center on Highway 63 on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. State lottery officials said this is the largest Mississippi Mega Millions win since the game’s upgrade in April 2025.
In addition, a Powerball ticket sold in Coldwater, Mississippi, on Wednesday, August 27, also paid out $2 million after choosing the $1 Power Play option, which doubled the prize.
As Mississippi celebrates these wins, excitement builds around the Powerball jackpot, which has climbed to an estimated $950 million for the upcoming drawing. Saturday’s draw will be the 39th since the last Powerball jackpot was won on May 31.
What this means for players:
– Megaplier and Power Play multipliers can significantly boost non-jackpot prizes, turning a standard win into a life-changing payout.
– If you’ve bought a ticket, verify your numbers promptly and follow the official prize-claim procedures.
Keep in mind to play responsibly and sign your tickets to protect against loss. Two big wins in Mississippi this week show how multi-state lotteries can deliver substantial prizes, while the Powerball continues to offer a record-tempting top prize.
Summary: Two Mississippi players hit big prizes on back-to-back days, with a $2 million Mega Millions win in Moss Point and a $2 million Powerball win in Coldwater, as the Powerball jackpot soars toward $950 million.
