Mega Millions jackpot soars to $514 mn—Check winning numbers for Nov 29 here

The Mega Millions jackpot surged to an estimated $514 million for Friday (November 29), after no one matched Tuesday’s winning numbers. A single winner could claim a lump sum of $244.7 million after taxes.
The numbers drawn were 3, 29, 34, 37, 38, with the gold Mega Ball 17 and a 2X Megaplier.
This year, three Mega Millions jackpots have been won so far, including $810 million in Texas, $552 million in Illinois, and a massive $1.128 billion still unclaimed in New Jersey.
Starting April 2025, the cost of a ticket will increase to $5. This change aims to boost jackpots and their frequency, offering players better chances at winning larger sums.
Players choose six numbers: five white balls between 1 and 70, and one gold Mega Ball between 1 and 25. The “Quick Pick” option lets the computer randomly select numbers. Adding a $1 “Megaplier” can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2x to 5x.
Tickets are available at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and online in select states. Drawings occur at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesdays and Fridays. Winners must claim their prizes within 180 days, with cash options available for the first 60 days.
The odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350. Florida law requires public disclosure of winners’ names, but those claiming prizes of $250,000 or more enjoy a 90-day anonymity period unless waived.
The next drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 11 p.m. ET. Stay tuned to see if the jackpot finds its next lucky winner.
