Mega Millions Rolls to $193M, Mega Ball 24 extends its lead, California ticket-holder wins $1M
Mega Millions Rolls to 193 Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Saturday September 5th
Mega Millions drew Friday night with 6, 26, 34, 59 and 61, plus Mega Ball 24. No ticket matched all six. The 6 returned after 49 drawings away, while 61 repeated from Tuesday—a sharp turn from sabbatical to houseguest. Meanwhile, 24 strengthened its lead as the most-drawn Mega Ball of the past six years, now at 38 appearances. Do you think 24 plans to surrender the spotlight anytime soon? Tuesday’s jackpot is estimated at 193 million dollars, with a cash value of 82 million 800 thousand dollars. That could buy a fleet of mobile libraries, each with an unnecessarily grand espresso bar. The jackpot run is now 11 drawings and 38 days, still shorter than a typical gap.
Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Wednesday, September 2, with 3, 10, 29, 58 and 64, plus Powerball 14 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody hit the jackpot, but one lucky ticket holder in California landed a 1 million dollar prize. That red 14 remains the most-drawn Powerball of the past six years, with 50 appearances. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 173 million dollars, with a cash value of 74 million 600 thousand dollars. The top prize has gone nine drawings and 21 days without a winner, which is still a younger-than-usual run.
