JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The Mississippi Match 5 jackpot has reached a groundbreaking $1 million, the highest prize ever offered since the game’s launch on April 28, 2021.

There have been 48 draws since the last jackpot was won April 12, 2025, for $141,000. The jackpot then reset to $50,000 and has steadily grown.

“This is an exciting moment not just for our players, but for the Mississippi Lottery as a whole,” said Mississippi Lottery Corporation (MLC) President Jeff Hewitt. “Hitting the million-dollar threshold is a first for Match 5, and it shows just how much enthusiasm players have for this game.”

Mississippi Match 5 drawings are held every night at approximately 9:30 p.m. CT. Tickets are $2, and an optional $1 multiplier feature is available to boost non-jackpot prizes. 

Tickets can be purchased at authorized Mississippi Lottery retailers statewide. For more information on Mississippi Match 5, including how to play and winning numbers, visit www.mslottery.com.
