NASHVILLE, Ohio — Although nobody hit the $541 million jackpot in the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024, lottery officials say there were two tickets that hit a $1 million prize -- and they were both sold at the same location in Holmes County.
The Ohio Lottery says the winning $1 million tickets were sold at Buckeye Deli in Nashville, Ohio. One was an auto-pick ticket, while the Ohio Lottery says the other had player-picked numbers.
That means both of winning tickets narrowly missed the monstrous jackpot for failing to match the Mega Ball.
But that's not all... The Ohio Lottery says there were thousands of others winners throughout the state, which are listed below:
- $1 million prize: 2 winners
- $10,000 prize: 1 winner
- $2,000 prize: 7 winners
- $800 prize: 14 winners
- $500 prize: 12 winners
- $200 prize: 27 winners
- $40 prize: 573 winners
- $16 prize: 2,175 winners
- $10 prize: 1,429 winners
- $8 prize: 5,861 winners
- $4 prize: 5,185 winners
- $2 prize: 13,821 winners
Lottery officials say there was also a winning ticket worth $1 million sold in Wisconsin.
The lucky Mega Millions numbers were 52, 60, 61, 66, 67 and Mega Ball 23. The Megaplier option for this drawing was 4x.
The Mega Millions jackpot now climbs to $579 million with a cash option worth $276.6 million. The next drawing will take place at 11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6.
Lottery officials say the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are one in 302,575,350.
