"If won at that level, it would be the largest prize ever won in December and the seventh largest in Mega Millions history," the lottery said.
The next drawling is on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
Did you win something Tuesday night?
Check your numbers because $1 million tickets were sold in California (two), Louisiana and Oklahoma and a Match 5 + Megaplier ticket worth $4 million was sold in North Carolina, Mega Millions said.
More than 1.8 million tickets sold in Tuesday's draw matched at least the gold Mega Ball and are worth $2 or more.
The winning numbers in the Dec. 17, 2024, draw were 56, 66, 67, 68 and 69, with a Mega Ball of 18. That's right, there were four consecutive numbers drawn -- what's the odds of that?

"Me and my buddy are doing it together. And, if we win, we're moving to Florida," Audubon resident Bob Fisher said.
Lottery players were out on Friday getting their tickets hoping for an early holiday gift to make some wishes come true.
"I would share it with these beautiful people in this gas station and beyond. So what the heck. Letâs see what happens," Wynnewood resident Cynthia told NBC10.
Should no one win this one, the jackpot for the Christmas Eve drawing will be even more "Mega."
When did someone last hit the Mega Millions jackpot?
It's been since Sept. 10, 2024, since a ticket sold in Texas hit all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win an $810 million jackpot.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states, plus the Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Good luck!
