The results of the Mega Millions lottery game for November 30, offering a jackpot prize of $102 million, with a cash-value option of $74.2 million, were revealed on Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET.
The latest numbers drawn were 7, 8, 26, 30 and 39 for the white balls, while the yellow Mega Ball was 17 and the Megaplier was 2x.
The latest drawing saw no winners of the top jackpot prize. But one lucky player in Texas matched the five white balls, which earned them the second prize, valued at $1 million. Their second prize winning would have been worth $2 million had the winner purchased the Megaplier for an extra $1.
Eighteen players correctly matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball, winning them each $10,000. Five of them opted for the Megaplier, doubling their third prize to $20,000.
There were 341 ticket holders who matched four of the five white balls, but not the Mega Ball, each earning $500, with 63 of them each bagging the Megaplier prize of $1,000.
A group of 810 players matched three white balls, each winning $200, with 185 of them each obtaining the Megaplier prize of $400.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be on Friday, December 3, at 11 p.m. ET, for a jackpot prize of $112 million, with a cash-value option of $81.5 million.
Last Friday's game also saw no grand prize winner. But there was one ticket holder in Michigan who matched the first five white balls, and minus the gold Mega Ball, to bag the second prize. The winner purchased the Megaplier option, raising their second prize earning to $2 million.
There were nine players last Friday who matched four of the five white balls and the Mega Ball, which won them each the $10,000 third prize. Three of those winners purchased the Megaplier, which doubled each of their third prize wins to $20,000.
How to Play Mega Millions
Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET. Five white balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 70, while one yellow Mega Ball is drawn from balls numbered 1 through 25. You win if the numbers on your lottery ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn on that date.
Mega Millions tickets cost $2 per play. If no one wins the jackpot prize, the money is added to the top prize for the following drawing.
Most states offer a Megaplier option, which costs an additional $1 per play and increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four or five times. Before each Mega Millions drawing on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Megaplier is drawn from a pool of 15 balls. Five of these balls are marked with 2X, six with 3X, three with 4X and one with 5X.
The odds of winning with a $2 Mega Millions ticket are one in 303 million. See the Mega Millions website for more information.
