Mega Millions winning numbers for 12/3/24: $541 million lottery jackpot

Mega Millions players, are you lucky? Tuesday’s drawing has an estimated value of $541 million as the lottery rounds out 2024.

The winning numbers were drawn just after 11pm on Tuesday and the results can be found below.

No one won the $541 million jackpot, which the lottery said would have equated to a lump sum payout of an estimated $258.4 million after taxes.

“Although there have been 13 December jackpot wins since the Mega Millions began in 2002, only one has been greater than the current estimated prize of $541 million,” the lottery said in a press release. “On December 17, 2013, winners in California and Georgia shared a $648 million jackpot.”

In March, a lucky Mega Millions player from New Jersey won a whopping $1.1 billion. Although this prize has not yet been claimed, the lottery says it is not the first time a jackpot has gone unclaimed.

How to play Mega Millions

To purchase a ticket, you’ll need to visit your local supermarket, gas station, or convenience store – and in a few states you can purchase tickets online.

To play you must select six numbers. Five numbers are white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold mega ball is a number between 1 and 25.

If you think the odds are stacked against you, ask for a “Quick Pick” or an “Easy Pick.” The computer then randomly generates the numbers for you.

Players can add the “Megaplier” for $1, which can increase non-top prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn on Tuesday and Friday before the Mega Millions numbers.

There are 15 Megapiler balls in total:

2Xfive balls
3Xsix balls
4Xthree balls
5Xa ball
