The last Mega Millions drawing held on Tues., Nov. 30 offered a jackpot of $102 million. However, nobody won it, so the prize gets rolled over to tonight’s drawing. The estimated jackpot, if the recipient chooses the annuity option, is now $112 million.
Alternatively, the winner can choose the lump sum cashout for an estimated payout (before taxes) of $81.5 million.
Mega Millions Winning Numbers for Friday, December 3, 2021
Mega Millions lottery drawings take place twice weekly, every Tuesday and Friday, at 11 p.m. ET. The object is to try to pick all six winning numbers. The first five numbers drawn are white balls. The sixth number is the gold Mega Ball. Each ticket costs $2, or $3 if you select the Megaplier option.
The winning numbers for the Fri., Dec. 3 drawing are as follows:
Winning numbers: 22 – 45 – 48 – 58 – 61
Mega Ball: 13
Megaplier: 5x
How the Nov. 30 drawing made one player an instant millionaire
Although nobody picked all six numbers correctly in last Tuesday’s drawing, it was still a very lucky day for one player in Texas. That person was a perfect five for five in choosing the numbers for the white balls and won $1 million.
However, the player did not spend an extra dollar for the Megaplier option, which would have doubled the prize to $2 million.
