The excitement is building as the Mega Millions jackpot keeps rolling. The prize for next Tuesday’s drawing is an estimated $252 million (cash option: $148 million) after no ticket matched all six numbers on September 14. The jackpot has been growing since it was last won in California at $522 million on July 24.
The winning numbers for the Mega Millions draw on Friday, 14 September 2018, were:
23, 30, 40, 43, 66 Mega Ball: 13 Megaplier: 4x
There was, however, one Match 5 winner in Florida, bagging an amount of $1 million.
There were also 17 winners who all managed to guess four of the winning numbers and the mega ball, and therefore winning a decent amount of $10,000. Two of them managed to quadruple the winnings to $40,000.
As a result of not having had a jackpot winner on Friday, 14 September 2018, the next Mega Millions jackpot stands at an amount of $252 million.
The next Mega Millions draw will be on Tuesday, 18 September 2018.
