The anticipation surrounding the latest Mega Millions drawing has finally come to an end! The winning numbers for the Tuesday, November 25 drawing have been announced, with an impressive estimated jackpot of $70 million (or a $32.3 million cash option).
So, do you think you could be the lucky winner this time around? Let’s dive into everything you need to know about the Mega Millions jackpot along with the official winning numbers.
The official winning numbers for Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing are 11, 15, 31, 32, and 59, with the Mega Ball being 18.
Unfortunately, there were no winners for Tuesday’s drawing.
The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Friday, November 28, at 11:00 p.m. (EST) with an estimated jackpot of $80 million since nobody won the previous lottery.
Mega Millions tickets are priced at $5.00 each and include a multiplier.
The deadline to purchase a Mega Millions ticket varies by state, but many locations allow tickets to be sold up to 15 minutes before the drawing, usually around 10:45 p.m. (EST). It’s best to check with your local state lottery for specific details.
To play Mega Millions, you’ll need to pick six different numbers, with five corresponding to white balls ranging from 1 to 70, and one golden Mega Ball between 1 and 24. Alternatively, you can opt for a “Quick Pick” where the computer randomly selects the numbers for you. Drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday night at 11 p.m. (EST).
To find out if you’ve won the Mega Millions jackpot, simply check the Mega Millions website on the night of the drawing or watch the event on YouTube.
Claiming your prize involves following the rules and procedures specific to the state where the ticket was purchased. Smaller prizes can usually be collected at lottery retailers, while larger sums may require in-person collection.
Mega Millions tickets now come with a built-in multiplier that automatically increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or 10 times.
While the jackpot is only awarded to those who match all five white balls and the Mega Ball, there are several other prize tiers with varying amounts and odds of winning.
With odds of 1 in 290,472,336, correctly matching all five white balls and the Mega Ball is no easy feat.
In the end, the Mega Millions drawing presents an exciting opportunity for players to dream big and potentially change their lives with a massive jackpot win.
