Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $505 Million

The Mega Millions jackpot climbed to $505 million after no one won in the drawing on Tuesday, November 3. The jackpot was $482 million in Tuesday's drawing, and the estimated cash option was $203.6 million. No one matched all the numbers, and no one matched five numbers either. The top prize was $50,000.

The winning numbers were announced as 4, 24, 31, 62, and 70, with the gold Mega Ball at 3. Four people who matched the four white balls and the gold Mega Ball won prizes that varied depending on the random multiplier on their tickets. In addition, 149 people won between $1,000 and $5,000.

If no one wins in the next drawing, the jackpot will keep growing. If there is a winner, they will be able to choose between annual installments or a one-time cash payment of $213.3 million. The next drawing will take place this Friday, November 6.

In the previous drawing, there was also no grand prize winner, and three players won up to $30,000. The last person to match all five numbers in Mega Millions won $5 million in New York last month. Before that, prizes of $2 million in New Jersey and $3 million in Florida were awarded.

Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot has risen above $800 million. A player in Delaware won a $1 million prize.
