LANSING, MI – It’s been three months since someone hit the Mega Millions jackpot, resulting in the Tuesday, Dec. 10 drawing being worth $619 million. Should someone win the top prize tonight, it would be the 10th largest jackpot in the game’s history.

The estimated cash option for today’s drawing is worth $293.6 million. MLive will announce the drawing results shortly after the drawing at 11:00 p.m. EST.

The winning numbers are: 12-14-26-48-52

Megaball: 21

Megaplier: 5

The last time a Mega Millions player won the jackpot was on September 10, when Sol Living Trust of Sugar Land, Texas, won an $810 million jackpot. It was a relatively uneventful year for Mega Millions jackpot wins in 2024, as only three jackpots were claimed this year.

The Mega Millions drawings take place on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m. Five balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 to 70; The Mega Ball is drawn from a series of balls numbered 1 to 25. The chances of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302 million.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 each.

The last Michigan player to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot was lottery club Breakfast Club, which won an $842 million jackpot in June 2024. The members plan to use the money to buy a home in Florida and travel.

And while they were lucky winners, it’s wise for players to check their tickets immediately because a $1 million Mega Millions winner sold in Southfield in 2023 went unclaimed. The money instead went to the state’s school aid fund.
