The Mega Millions jackpot continues to skyrocket. Friday's drawing was for $825 million with a cash option of $382.2 million. It represents the seventh-highest jackpot in Mega Millions history.
The jackpot hasn't been hit since September when a ticket worth $810 million was sold in Texas.
Did a winning ticket get sold Friday night? Here are the numbers for Friday, Dec. 20, 2024:
The winning numbers from Friday's drawing were 2, 20, 51, 56 and 67 and the Mega Ball was 19. The Megaplier was 2x.
Tickets matching all five numbers worth $1 million each were sold in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana (two) and Pennsylvania.
You only need to match one number in Mega Millions to win a prize. However, that number must be the Mega Ball, worth $2.
There are nine total ways to win a prize, from the jackpot to $2.
Players can pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers: five different numbers from the white balls numbered 1-70 and one number from the gold balls numbered 1-25.
