The anticipation of a life-changing windfall gripped lottery players across the United States on February 6, 2026, as the Mega Millions jackpot once again drew hopefuls from coast to coast. From Kansas to California, Massachusetts to Missouri, and all the way to Rhode Island, the evening’s numbers sent thousands of ticket holders scrambling to check their stubs and dream of what might come next.
According to official results published by the Kansas Lottery, California Lottery, Missouri Lottery, Massachusetts Lottery, and Rhode Island Lottery, the winning numbers for the Mega Millions drawing held on February 6, 2026, were 13, 21, 25, 52, and 62, with a Mega Ball of 19. This combination was echoed across all five states, as each reported the same results, confirming a synchronized national drawing that night.
But Mega Millions wasn’t the only game in town. Each state offered a variety of draw games, and the results painted a tapestry of possibility for lottery enthusiasts. In Kansas, players also had the chance to win with Pick 3, 2 By 2, and Lucky For Life. The Pick 3 midday drawing yielded the numbers 3-6-0, while the evening numbers were 9-7-5. For 2 By 2, the winning Red Balls were 14 and 20, with White Balls 07 and 25. Lucky For Life, a multi-state favorite, produced the numbers 17-21-29-36-39, with a Lucky Ball of 11.
Meanwhile, the California Lottery saw its own array of hopefuls. Alongside the Mega Millions draw, the Daily 3 Midday numbers were 2-6-6, and the Evening draw produced 4-1-0. The Daily Derby race was won by Gold Rush (1st), Gorgeous George (2nd), and Winning Spirit (3rd), clocking in at a race time of 1:45.79. Fantasy 5 players watched for 05-11-26-28-39, and Daily 4 hopefuls looked for 9-1-6-6.
In Missouri, the day’s excitement was palpable as the Missouri Lottery released results for a host of games. The Pick 3 midday numbers were 4-7-6 with a Midday Wild of 7, and the evening numbers were 5-5-8 with an Evening Wild of 5. Pick 4 offered 5-1-8-0 (Midday Wild 4) and 9-7-4-8 (Evening Wild 6). For those playing Cash4Life, the numbers were 04-07-10-38-51, with a Cash Ball of 02. Cash Pop spanned multiple draws: Early Bird (09), Morning (15), Matinee (05), Prime Time (10), and Night Owl (06). Show Me Cash produced 05-10-11-12-28.
Up in New England, the Massachusetts Lottery provided its own set of draws. Mega Millions and Lucky For Life mirrored the national results, while The Numbers Game midday numbers were 9-1-9-2 and evening numbers 2-1-3-6. MassCash, another local favorite, gave out 05-07-11-27-33 in its evening draw.
Rhode Island’s lottery fans had plenty to check as well. The Rhode Island Lottery reported Mega Millions numbers consistent with the national draw and Lucky For Life numbers matching those in Massachusetts and Kansas. The Numbers midday draw was 0-2-7-8, and the evening numbers were 0-4-5-7. Wild Money’s winning numbers were 09-22-24-28-31, with an Extra of 27.
For those lucky enough to hold a winning ticket, the process of claiming a prize varies by state and, of course, by the size of the win. In Kansas, all lottery retailers redeem prizes up to $599, while prizes above that threshold can be claimed by mail or in person at the Kansas Lottery headquarters in Topeka. The office, located at 128 N Kansas Avenue, is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and can cash prizes of any amount.
Missouri’s system works similarly, with retailers cashing prizes up to $600. Larger wins require claimants to either mail in their ticket, accompanied by a claim form and identification, or visit one of the regional offices—by appointment only—in cities such as Jefferson City, Kansas City, Springfield, or St. Louis. Detailed instructions and forms are available on the Missouri Lottery’s website.
In Rhode Island, the process is straightforward: prizes less than $600 can be claimed at any lottery retailer, while larger prizes must be redeemed at the Lottery Headquarters in Cranston. Notably, jackpot winners for games like Mega Millions and Powerball have up to 60 days to choose between cash or annuity payment options, with annuitized prizes paid in 30 graduated annual installments. Lucky For Life winners can opt for a minimum 20-year payout or a lump sum cash payment.
Massachusetts offers both in-person and digital avenues for buying and claiming lottery tickets. According to the Massachusetts Lottery, tickets can be purchased at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and even some airport terminals. For those in supported states, the Jackpocket app provides a digital option: players can pick their game and numbers, place their order, and even collect winnings directly from their phone or computer. Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, serves as a bridge between traditional and digital lottery experiences, though it is unaffiliated with any state lottery.
As for when to play, each state sets its own schedule. Powerball typically draws at 9:59 p.m. CT or 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Mega Millions is drawn at 10 p.m. CT or 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday and Friday. Other games like Pick 3, Pick 4, and state-specific draws such as Show Me Cash, MassCash, or Wild Money have their own daily or weekly schedules, keeping the action constant for those who enjoy a regular flutter.
Behind the scenes, much of the information for these results is compiled and distributed using services like TinBu, which provides automated lottery data to newspapers and lottery websites nationwide. While the results pages are automatically generated, each is reviewed by local editors or producers to ensure accuracy before publication.
For many, the lottery is more than just a game—it’s a ritual, a moment of hope, and occasionally, a ticket to a new life. Whether players are chasing multimillion-dollar jackpots or the thrill of a quick win on a daily draw, the February 6, 2026, results offered a fresh set of possibilities. The next big winner could be anyone, anywhere, holding a ticket with just the right numbers.
