**[City, State] –** The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to a staggering $619 million ($297.7 million cash value), making it the tenth largest in the game’s history. No one matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing, resulting in the prize pool’s significant increase.

The winning numbers for Friday, December 6th’s drawing were 16, 21, 33, 39, 45, and the Mega Ball was 24. The Megaplier was 2X. While no one secured the jackpot, a $1 million prize was unclaimed, having matched all five numbers excluding the Mega Ball. Even matching only the Mega Ball nets a $2 prize.

Lottery enthusiasts can purchase tickets for the next drawing, offering a chance to become the game’s newest multi-millionaire. Tickets cost $2, with an optional $1 Megaplier add-on for potentially higher non-jackpot winnings. Drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at approximately 10 p.m. CT and can be viewed on YouTube.
