Mega Millions Jackpot Soars to $80 Million for Tuesday’s Drawing

[City, State] – Lottery fever is gripping the nation as the Mega Millions jackpot climbs to an estimated $80 million, with a cash option of $36.2 million, for the Tuesday, December 16th drawing. No one matched all six numbers in Friday’s December 12th drawing, which had the numbers 10-50-55-58-59, and a Mega Ball of 5, pushing the jackpot higher.

The winning numbers for Tuesday, Dec. 16, were 20-24-46-59-65 and the Megaball was 7.

While hitting the jackpot is the ultimate goal, players should remember that even matching a single number – the Mega Ball – will win a $2 prize. Matching one of the five numbers and the Mega Ball is worth $4. Tickets cost $5, and for an extra $1, players can add the Megaplier to multiply non-jackpot winnings.

Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at approximately 11 p.m. ET and streamed live on YouTube. For a complete breakdown of prize payouts and past winning numbers, visit megamillions.com.
