Narrative:
While flying due east at 3000 feet; approximately 17 miles east of the addison airport; I encountered a gold colored unmanned aerial vehicle of some variety. At first; I believed it was a mylar balloon; but it was quickly obvious that it was actually a drone of some sort. It was exactly at my altitude; and passed at most 50 feet from my right wing. By [the] time; I saw it; I turned to the left; but it was nearly already past at that point. There was no ads-B track. I was monitoring 122.8; which is used in the lake lavon/lake ray hubbard practice areas; as well as most of the nearby airports. I advised of the near-miss to other pilots on frequency; but took no further action.
