The numbers for the Mega Millions lottery drawing held on Friday, Dec. 27, 2024, which is worth an estimated $1.22 billion, have been announced.
This grand prize of the popular lottery, which attracts players from across the United States and further afield, has reached a massive scale due to numerous rollovers. The winning ticket can transform the fortune of the lucky ticket holder.
As reported, the drawn numbers for this huge jackpot were disclosed on the official Mega Millions website. Players are advised to carefully check their numbers against the announced figures.
However, the organizers have sent out a reminder about odds. As per the Mega Millions, the chances of winning the grand prize are astronomically low – one in 302.5 million. Nonetheless, lottery enthusiasts continue participating in the hope of claiming that elusive massive prize.
The Mega Millions lottery has a wide reach with tickets being sold in 44 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Proceeds from ticket sales often go towards supporting beneficial public services and projects in these places.
If anyone is fortunate enough to win and chooses the lump-sum cash option, the pre-tax payout would be substantial. The exact amount, however, would be determined by various factors including current market rates and the number of winners sharing the prize.
Regardless of the extraordinary odds, the allure of becoming a billionaire overnight keeps players coming back for more, each with their own dreams of what they might do with such an immense windfall.
