The Mega Millions jackpot has surged to an estimated $303 million for Tuesday’s drawing after no one claimed the top prize on Friday. The winning numbers were drawn just after 11 p.m. on Tuesday, and the results are eagerly anticipated.
Back in March, a fortunate Mega Millions player from New Jersey secured a staggering $1.1 billion win, although that prize remains unclaimed. This isn’t the first time a jackpot has gone unclaimed, according to the lottery.
If someone holds the lucky ticket for Tuesday night’s $303 million jackpot, they can choose to take home an estimated $141.8 million lump-sum payment after taxes.
For the Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024 Mega Millions drawing, the winning numbers are 2, 24, 25, 52, 58 with the Megaball being 9 and the Megaplier at 2X.
Keep your tickets handy as the Mega Millions results will be posted promptly and winners will be announced. For those interested in past winners, you can always visit the Mega Millions website.
If you’re looking to play the Mega Millions, you can purchase a ticket at local convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, or online in certain states. Players must pick six numbers, comprising five white balls ranging from 1 to 70, and one gold Mega Ball numbered between 1 and 25. For those skeptical about their luck, the “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” options allow the computer to randomly generate the numbers.
For an additional $1, players can add the “Megaplier,” which can multiply non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four, or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers each Tuesday and Friday.
