Mega Millions lottery winning numbers Tuesday December 3, 2024

The Mega Millions jackpot continues to rise after no one picked all six numbers to win in Tuesday’s drawing.

With no winner in the December 3 drawing, the Mega Millions jackpot becomes the 10th largest jackpot in the game’s history, according to megamillions.com. The jackpot is currently an estimated $579 million, with a payout of $276.6 million. This is the third time jackpots have made the top 10 in 2024, something that has never happened before in the 20+ years the game has been around.

“After the first partial year of Mega Millions in 2002, there was not a single year in which all jackpots won reached the then-current top ten values,” stated a Mega Millions press release.

Although the big jackpot was out of reach for lottery players, not everyone walked away empty-handed. More than 948,000 winning tickets were sold across the country, some valued at $1 million.
