Fast NewsMega Millions Jackpot Reaches $489 Million Ahead of Thanksgiving

November 27, 2024 — The Mega Millions jackpot has soared to an impressive $489 million after no one claimed the top prize in the November 26, 2024 drawing. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, hopeful players are flocking to purchase tickets ahead of the next drawing, which is set for Friday, November 29, 2024.

Mega Millions Numbers for November 26, 2024

The winning numbers for the November 26 drawing were: 10, 17, 30, 42, 54, with a Mega Ball of 12. Unfortunately, there were no jackpot winners, leaving the prize pool to grow. The Mega Millions numbers for the evening also produced several smaller winners, with Match 5 prizes of $1 million for players who matched all five white balls, though without the Mega Ball.

What’s Next for the Jackpot?

The Mega Millions drawing tonight will mark another chance for players to win a life-changing amount, with the jackpot now sitting at nearly $500 million. The prize has been steadily climbing after a string of drawing results without a grand prize winner.

How to Play and When is the Next Drawing?

Tickets for the next Mega Millions drawing are available in 45 states, plus Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The drawing will take place at 11 p.m. ET on Friday, and players must purchase tickets before the cut-off time in their state (typically up to 10 p.m. ET).

Thanksgiving Frenzy

With the holiday season approaching, interest in the Mega Millions jackpot is at an all-time high, as players look to make their Thanksgiving celebrations even more memorable. Whether spending time with family or considering what they would do with millions, many are eager for their shot at the Mega Millions numbers that could change their lives forever.

Past Winners

The last Mega Millions jackpot winner was in September 2024, when a single ticket purchased in California won over $375 million. This set off a wave of excitement, but with this new jackpot, it looks like the game could see its next big winner soon.

As the Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb, anticipation builds for Friday’s drawing. Will someone claim the nearly $500 million prize, or will the jackpot continue to grow into the holiday season? The next drawing is just days away—don’t miss your chance to play!
