Mega Millions Jackpot Grows to $287 Million for Upcoming Draw
The Mega Millions drawing held on Friday left participants empty-handed as no one managed to match all the winning numbers. As a result, the much-anticipated Tuesday draw is expected to offer a whopping $287 million prize to lucky winners.
The winning numbers for Tuesday, November 21, were revealed as 17, 22, 25, 30, and 38. The Megaball number was 24 and the Megaplier, which can multiply non-jackpot winnings, was 4X.
With a significant jackpot at stake, participants are eagerly waiting for the next draw. If there is a winner who opts for the cash option, they will be greeted with a generous payout of over $133.3 million.
For those interested in trying their luck, Mega Millions tickets can be purchased in-person at various locations such as gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and select airport terminals. Alternatively, online ticket ordering options are available in a number of states including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.
When playing the Mega Millions, participants need to select six numbers. The first five numbers are chosen from a range of 1 to 70 for the white balls, while the last number, known as the Mega Ball, is chosen from a range of 1 to 25.
Additionally, players have the option to add a Megaplier for an extra dollar. This feature has the potential to increase non-jackpot winnings by 2 to 5 times.
To keep track of past and present winners, the complete list of Mega Millions winners can be found on the official lottery website.
For anxious players awaiting the outcome of Tuesday’s draw, the results will be made available on Wednesday after 6:00 am ET. Whether there will be a lucky winner who claims the $287 million jackpot remains to be seen.
