$670m Mega Millions Draw as Countdown to El Gordo de Navidad Continues

Tonight’s Mega Millions draw has a fantastic $670 million jackpot. December could be a great month to buy tickets at Lottery24. We’re just nine days away from this year’s El Gordo de Navidad draw with its €2.702 billion prize fund.

Let’s take a look first at the Mega Millions draw that takes place this evening. The top prize hasn’t been won since September 10 when a ticket sold in Texas won a $810 million jackpot. That's one of just three top prize wins in 2024

In January, a ticket that had been purchased in New Jersey won a $1.128 billion jackpot. The next time the top prize was landed wasn’t until June when a ticket bought in Illinois landed a $552 million windfall.

Another December win?

Last December did produce a jackpot win. That was the amazing and controversial occasion when a store in California sold two tickets that both shared the $394 million top prize.

There had been a long wait for a December Mega Millions jackpot winner. That win last year was the first time since 2019 that the final month of the year had produced a jackpot success. Will we see another this month?

Massive Spanish prize fund

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas in Spain if there wasn’t the El Gordo de Navidad draw. It takes place on December 22 with the massive €2.702 billion prize fund. Make sure you buy a ticket from Lottery 24.

The build-up to the El Gordo de Navidad draw has been underway for several months. Even in the summer tickets were being purchased. There have also been  emotional television commercials publicising the Christmas lottery draw.  On December 22 millions will be waiting to find out if they have won a prize, will you be one?

The top prize in the El Gordo de Navidad draw is €4 million per series. Each of those are split into tenths so if you were to have the winning number, you’d have €400,000 on its way to you just before Christmas.
