Since there was no lottery winner for the Friday night drawing of $112 million with a cash option of $81.8 million, the jackpot went unclaimed. However, two players became instant millionaires after the latest Mega Millions drawing.
Two players from California hit the Match 5 and won $1 million. If the players would have hit the Match 5 with the Megaplier purchase, they would have won $5 million.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be worth an estimated $122 million with a cash option of $89.2 million. The numbers will be drawn on Tuesday, Dec. 7.
Along with the two instant millionaires, there were several other smaller wins from the night. There were six Match 4 plus gold Mega Ball winners that walked away with $10,000 each.
Meanwhile, only one player matched four numbers with the gold Mega Ball and 5X Megaplier, winning a $50,000 prize. The other wins from the night ranged between $2 and $2,500.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350. Lottery winners have the option to receive their winnings through a one-time lump sum payment or an annuity.
Those who select the annuity receive one immediate payment that is followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% every year.
Mega Millions can be played in 45 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
