Make sure to check back at this page at 11 p.m. EST for a posting of the winning numbers in real time.
The winning numbers in last Friday's game were 1, 34, 43, 44 and 63. The winning Gold Mega Ball number was 11 and the megaplier was 4x.
Six Million Dollars Won on Friday's Drawing
3 players matched all five white ball numbers to win at least $1 million on the September 9 drawing. While two of the winning tickets that were sold in New York cashed the prize of $1 million, the remaining ticket that was sold in South Carolina cashed $4 million since it included the optional megaplier.
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. Five balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 75; the Mega ball is drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 15. The odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 259 million.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states, plus the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $1 each.
Powerball Jackpot at $186 Million
Meanwhile, the September 14th, Powerball jackpot has now spiked to $222 million with a cash option payment of $150.4 million.
There were no jackpot winners in last Saturday's game, when the winning digits were 3, 17, 49, 55 and 68. The winning Red Powerball number was 8 and the Power Play number was 2x.
Quick Picks Can Prove Beneficial
Powerball hopefuls may do well by leaving the number choosing to the computer. Around 70% of previous Powerball winners won via Quick Picks, a machine mechanism system that randomly picks numbers for you.
Some Numbers Luckier than Others
Apparently some numbers are actually luckier than others. An ABC News analysis of past Powerball winners shows that the numbers 8, 54, 14, 39 and 13 come up most often.
