Mega Millions $90M Jackpot Draw Details and Prize Structure

The Mega Millions lottery drawing on Tuesday, Dec. 2 featured a $90 million jackpot with winning numbers 17, 25, 26, 53, 60, and a Mega Ball of 16. Tickets cost $5 and are available both in-store and online in states like Michigan until shortly before the drawing. Mega Millions uses a built-in multiplier for non-jackpot prizes, replacing the former Megaplier feature, which randomly increases prizes by 2 to 10 times per play. The jackpot odds stand at 1 in over 290 million, highlighting the high-risk nature of the game. Winners can choose between a cash lump sum or an annuity payout increasing annually by 5% over 30 years to counter inflation effects. In the event of multiple winners, prize money is equally divided among them.
