Mega Millions winning numbers for September 24; $62 million jackpot

The Mega Millions jackpot climbed to an estimated $62 million for Tuesday’s drawing after no one claimed the prize on Friday.
The winning numbers were drawn just after 11 p.m. on Tuesday and we have them below.
Just three jackpot-winning tickets have been sold in the U.S. this year: First in March when a player in New Jersey won a whopping $1.1 billion − a prize that has yet to be claimed − and again in June when a player in Illinois won $552 million. And then there was an $810 million win in Texas on Sept. 10.
If someone had won Tuesday night’s $62 million jackpot, they could have taken home an estimated $30.8 million lump-sum payment after taxes, according to the lottery.
Check below for the winning numbers from the Tuesday, Sept. 24 Mega Millions drawing.
