Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $505 Million After Rollover on November 3 Drawing

The Mega Millions jackpot has grown to $505 million after the November 3 drawing produced no jackpot winner and no Match 5 winners, according to GamblingNews. The drawing carried an advertised prize of $482 million with a cash option of $203.6 million. Winning numbers were 4, 24, 31, 62, 70 and Mega Ball 3.

Four tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball. Three of those, with a 3x multiplier, paid $30,000 each. One with a 5x multiplier paid $50,000. Another 149 players won tier-four prizes between $1,000 and $5,000.

Patterns Across Recent Mega Millions Drawings

The prior drawing likewise produced no jackpot or Match 5 winners, with only three players claiming prizes up to $30,000. The most recent Match 5 payout was a $5 million win in New York last month on a 5x ticket. Earlier, a New Jersey player won $2 million and a Florida player won $3 million in a separate drawing. The competing Powerball game has now crossed the $800 million threshold.

Parameters for the November 6 Draw

The current jackpot offers winners a choice between the full $505 million annuity or a lump-sum cash payment of $213.3 million. The next drawing is scheduled for Friday, November 6. Should it roll over again, the prize pool will climb further under the same rollover mechanics that produced the current figure. This sequence illustrates the direct link between consecutive non-winning draws and prize escalation, a pattern the source shows has repeated across multiple recent cycles without deviation.
