Thirteen players hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball and won $10,000 each. However, only three players hit the Match 4 plus the gold Mega Ball with a 3X Megaplier purchase, winning $30,000. The other Mega Millions wins from the night ranged between $2 and $1,500.
The latest drawing comes after a man from Washtenaw County, Michigan claimed a ticket for $2 million.
Jeffrey Phillips, 62, managed to match five of the white balls from the Nov. 26 drawing. Since he purchased the 2X Megaplier for an additional $1, his winnings for the night were $2 million.
Mega Millions winners have the option to receive their winnings through a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity.
Those who chose the annuity receive one immediate payment that is followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
A Mega Millions ticket costs $2 per play. Mega Millions can be played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
