A winning second-prize ticket was sold in Mattituck for the Nov. 11 drawing of Mega Millions, the New York Lottery announced on Wednesday
No grand prize-winning tickets were sold in the $900 million drawing, whose winning numbers were 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and the Mega ball 1. The following draw, a single winning jackpot ticket, was sold in Georgia in what then was a $980 million drawing with a cash value of $452.2 million.
The second-place consolation prize in Mega Millions is $1 million — and is affected by a built-in multiplier that makes the ticket worth $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, $5 million or $10 million. The ticket sold at NoFo Beer and Smoke at 55 Middle Rd. in Mattituck carried a 3x multiplier, making it worth $3 million.
Second-place winning tickets match all five field numbers drawn from the field of 70 white draw balls, but fail to match the yellow Mega ball drawn from a separate field of 24. Odds of matching the five numbers — but, not the Mega ball — are 1 in 12,629,232, according to the New York Lottery.
Drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m.

To date no one has come forward to claim the prize tied to the ticket sold in Mattituck.
NoFo manager Nil Patel told Newsday the store, which is family-owned and operated, learned of the $3 million winner the morning after the drawing — but when asked if any of his customers had come in to share news they'd won, he said: "Not yet."
"There's still someone out there with 3 million in their pocket," he said. Then, laughing, added: "Or, 1 million-something after taxes."
Patel said the store had previously sold winning tickets in various lottery drawings, but said the largest Mega winning prize ticket they'd sold was a third-prize ticket — matching four field numbers and the Mega number — worth $10,000.
"We had winners before with Mega," he said. "But never like this."

When News Matters, It Matters Where You Get Your News.
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency kicked off its annual “Gift Responsibly” campaign this week, urging adults not to buy lottery tickets for children during the holiday season and highlighting the expanded “Too Young to Bet” message in partnership with the National Council on Problem Gambling.
The initiative, now in its rebranded form as the “Gift Responsibly / Too Young to Bet Campaign,” reminds Marylanders that lottery tickets and other forms of gambling are age-restricted products and should never be given as gifts to minors.
John Martin, director of the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, said the effort reinforces rules already embedded in state law and lottery operations.

“Responsible play messages are part of all Lottery advertising, and we require all of the gambling operators we regulate to include them as well,” Martin said. “An important part of responsible play is understanding the age limits that are in place.”
Maryland law sets the minimum age at 18 to purchase or redeem lottery tickets or participate in daily fantasy sports. The legal age to enter a casino or place a sports wager is 21.
“We’re very careful about how Lottery tickets are designed and marketed in order to make sure that they don’t appeal to children,” Martin said. “We also ensure that gaming operators have robust processes in place to prevent underage participation.”
The campaign coincides with the holiday shopping period when scratch-off tickets and other instant games often appear in stockings or under trees. Officials stress that giving lottery products to anyone under 18 violates state law and can introduce minors to gambling at an early age.
This year the National Council on Problem Gambling broadened the scope beyond lottery tickets to include all forms of underage betting, reflecting growing concern about youth access to online sports wagering and other gaming options.
In April, the Maryland Lottery earned the highest possible certification — Level 4 — in the Responsible Gambling Verification Program administered jointly by the National Council on Problem Gambling and the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries. The agency previously progressed through all four levels of the World Lottery Association’s responsible gambling framework from 2015 to 2022.
Jasmine Countess, the agency’s responsible gambling director, encouraged families to seek help if gambling concerns arise during the holidays.
“If you’re concerned about someone in your life who’s having issues around gambling — especially if it’s a young person — there is support available for free,” Countess said. “The Center of Excellence staff can help you figure out how to get the conversation started.”
Free, confidential assistance is available 24 hours a day through the Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling. Residents can call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit mdgamblinghelp.org. Callers are connected to trained counselors, including peer recovery specialists with personal experience in gambling recovery.
The helpline and website also offer resources tailored to parents, educators, and young people, including conversation guides and information on recognizing warning signs of problem gambling.

Everybody’s headed to Vegas this month—me included—with huge expectations. Whether you’re in the Top 15 and on your way to rope at the Thomas & Mack, or you’re getting ready to rope at the Ariat World Series of Team Roping Finale at the South Point, December means big dividends to be won by team ropers in Las Vegas.
Everyone who’s ever roped grew up dreaming of winning a world championship. It doesn’t get any better than roping at the NFR, but it’s true what they say: You can’t eat those gold buckles. And I do not miss the year-round grind it takes to try and get there. 
Nobody could believe it when Allen Bach became the first guy ever to ride into the Finals in 15^th and leave the world champ in 1990. But with this year’s rounds paying $36,668, and the average paying $94,036 a man, the odds of doing that again are better than ever. Everybody has a legit shot now. 
I’m always interested in teams’ NFR strategies. Some go for the rounds from the start, which is why we sometimes see legs place. But I’ve always said the average is going to enter the conversation before it’s over, and when it comes down to two or three teams right there at the end, a lot of the talk will be about who’s doing what in the NFR average. 
I was always at the NFR to win the most money I possibly could, so if 10 was winning third in the round and I was roping toward the end that night, I probably wasn’t going to be going for first. It was great the years we left Las Vegas with world championships, but the most important thing for me was always leaving there with a pocketful of money. 
Enter the World Series Finale, and for me being thankful not to have to travel hard all year long to get to rope in it. You put up $2,000, and get to rope at $150,000-$250,000. That’s a pretty great risk and reward ratio, and most of us get to rope in more than one roping. 
I’m entered up six times—four heading and two heeling. Clay’s (Cooper) roping both ends there this year, too. We still practice every day, and it’s pretty cool for us to have big ropings to look forward to at this stage of our roping careers and lives. The numbers level the playing field for all of us, and lady luck’s going to come into play at the South Point and the Thomas & Mack. As always, most of the success will be had by the people riding good horses who also draw decent. 
From a pressure perspective, there’s no gold buckle in the picture for us now. But to have a chance to win $150,000 or more in about four hours—that’s beyond what any of us could have dreamed of when we were young. 
I’m roping in the #15 roping down to the #10, and will be heeling in the #10 and #11. Clay and I are roping together in the #15. It’s fun to be in our 60s and have the same goal of winning a pile of money to work toward. And I have six chances to do that. 
My game plan for the World Series ropings is to rope aggressive without trying to set any arena records. I’m going to use my horse, but as a header I don’t see the World Series start as a variable or obstacle. The only way you can break the barrier there is if you take off when you nod and the steer doesn’t move. 
What I’ve learned about scoring at World Series ropings is that you can’t be hesitant. Because if you miss the barrier, you’re in trouble. It’s not quite as bad as being late over at the Thomas & Mack, but you put yourself in the same bind. The way I see it, you have to roll the dice and hope that steer starts. Most of them will, and that’s a chance I’m willing to take. Because if he does go and you don’t, your pants are jerked down and you’re behind the eight-ball.

Lottery fever is spiking — just in time for the holiday season, and one ticket purchased in Florida got lucky.
Will a $2 ticket make you a multimillionaire? As they say in the lottery business, “it could happen to you.”
After no one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the Cyber Monday, Dec. 1, Powerball drawing, the jackpot jumped to $775 million for Wednesday, Dec. 3. The one-time lump sum cash option would be $362.5 million. Check back after 11 p.m. ET for Wednesday’s winning numbers.
In case you’re wondering, Monday, Dec. 1, Powerball numbers were 5-18-26-47-59 and the Powerball was 1. Power Play was 3x. Though it was a rollover, it wasn’t all bad news: There were three big winners in Monday night’s Powerball drawing. Tickets purchased in California, Georgia and Illinois matched 5 for $1 million prizes.
On Saturday, Nov. 29, winning Powerball numbers were 19-22-30-32-59 and the Powerball was 1. Power Play was 2x. Florida had a big winner: A ticket purchased here matched 5 for a $1 million prize.
The current jackpot has since rolled over 35 times after resetting to $20 million on Sept. 8, when a pair of tickets from Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, won the $1.787 billion Powerball drawing on Sept. 6.
Mega Millions had quite a lottery frenzy, too, after one ticket from a Georgia Publix matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win a whopping $980 million on Friday, Nov. 14. That Mega Millions jackpot rose on the all-time largest Mega Millions jackpot list and very nearly became the second billion-dollar lottery jackpot for 2025 and the 14th overall in the history of Mega Millions and Powerball.
Tickets start at $2 a piece. Below is what to know about lottery odds, how long to claim the cash option if you bought a ticket in Florida, and what happens to unclaimed prize money, according to the Florida Lottery.
Good luck!
Powerball lottery drawings are at 11 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, including holidays. Check back for Wednesday, Dec. 3, Powerball numbers and the Power Play. We’ll see if there’s a big winner so soon after the historic $1.8 billion Powerball or another chance at more money during the 2025 holiday season.
The current Powerball streak started Monday, Sept. 8, after a ticket purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the $1.787 billion drawing on Sept. 6, 2025.
Below is a recap of drawings and rollovers and how much the jackpot has increased over time.
Powerball drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays. According to Powerball.com, players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance to match all six numbers whether the jackpot is $20 million or $2 billion. Prizes range from $2 to the grand prize jackpot, which varies.
The next Powerball drawing will be Saturday, Dec. 6.
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 Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes “must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire.”
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.
Here are the Top 10 Powerball jackpots in the history of the game as of Dec. 3, 2025:
10. $754.6 million — Feb. 6, 2023; Washington
9. $758.7 million — Aug. 23, 2017; Massachusetts
