Just when the lottery frenzy was starting to peak with the Mega Millions jackpot on the brink of $1 billion, a ticket matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win the jackpot after more than five months of rolling over.
And just like that, in only the fifth drawing of this series, we have another jackpot winner. A ticket purchased in New Jersey matched all numbers to win the $90 million prize, with a cash option of $41.9 million.
The jackpot now resets at $50 for Friday’s Mega Millions drawing.
The winning numbers for the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, Dec. 2, were 17-25-26-53-60 and the Mega Ball was 16.
The Mega Millions jackpot numbers were matched by a $5 ticket purchased in Georgia, on Friday, Nov. 14, at $980 million, the eighth-largest Mega Millions jackpot of all time.
Mega Millions tickets start at $5 apiece. Below are some frequently asked questions about the game, when winning tickets expire in Florida (it differs state by state) and lottery odds. Good luck!

The next Mega Millions lottery drawing will be at 11 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last won on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, when a ticket in Georgia matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win a $980 million prize.
Below is a recap of lottery drawings for the current rollover streak.
Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
The odds of winning are pretty low. According to the Mega Millions site, players have a 1 in 290,472,336 chance to match all five white balls plus the gold Mega Ball.
According to Florida Lottery’s website, winners cannot remain anonymous: “Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner’s name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information.”
However, the site states, the “names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner.”
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.
As of Dec. 2, 2025, these are the largest Mega Millions prizes in the history of the game, according to megamillions.com.
As of Dec. 2, 2025, there have been 13 lottery jackpots that have reached or surpassed $1 billion. Only once has a jackpot surpassed $2 billion. These are the biggest lottery jackpots in U.S. history.

Win the CO State Park Christmas Tree Cutting Lottery? Tips and Rules for Cutting Down Your Tree Dec.6 Jack Armstrong
 
December means Christmas in the west, and with the season comes all the holiday preparations including finding a Christmas tree to have perched in your home. While you can always find a tree in the parking lot of your local grocery or hardware store, there’s one State Park in Colorado where you can cut down your own tree – Golden Gate Canyon State Park, which is just about a 45 minute drive from Boulder proper.
Though all permits are sold out, the park will be open during the tree cutting event, Dec.6.
To talk more about the rules and regulations about cutting down your own Christmas Tree from a Colorado Park, KGNU’s Jack Armstrong is joined by Kara Van Hoose, a spokesperson for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
