Updated: Saturday, December 12, 2020 01:09 AM
With no winner in the last draw, the Mega Millions game jackpot will be worth an estimated $291 million (cash option $224.7 million) the next time the multistate lottery is drawn on Tuesday. The amount rolled over because nobody matched all 6 winning numbers to win the $276 million grand prize Friday night. The winning numbers from Friday, December 11th, 2020 drawing were 19, 31, 37, 55, 67 with Mega Ball 25 and Megaplier X4.
Although the grand prize was not hit Friday evening, Mega Millions had some huge winners. There was a sole 2nd prize winner from Friday night's Mega Millions drawing, matching the first five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number. The one second prize winning ticket(s) bought in will collect $1,000,000 cash each.
Additional prizes won Friday evening included 9 tickets that matched 4 white numbers in addition to the Mega Ball and won $10,000. Additional winners Friday night included 440 tickets that matched 4 lotto numbers and won $500. 982 tickets matched three of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. These tickets are also each worth $200.
With 9 prize tiers, there were a total of 1,529,914 winning tickets sold across the nation in the Friday, December 11th, 2020 drawing.
