Mega Millions winning numbers for Friday, September 13: Who won the $20 million jackpot?
The Mega Millions lottery, a favorite among Americans for its frequent draws and substantial jackpots, continues to captivate millions with its twice-weekly draws. Held every Tuesday and Friday at 8:00 PM PST, these draws determine the winning numbers and offer players a chance at life-changing wealth. The jackpot increases significantly if there’s no winner, leading to even larger prizes as more tickets are sold.
On September 9, 2024, the jackpot soared to an impressive $810 million, which was ultimately claimed by a lucky winner in Texas. The winning ticket was purchased at Murphy USA 8848 in Sugar Land, Texas, marking the largest September jackpot in the game’s history and the seventh-largest prize ever in Mega Millions. This win has reset the jackpot, creating anticipation for the next draw on September 13.
For the September 13, 2024 draw, the winning numbers were 21, 55, 56, 57, 66, with the Mega Ball being 1. If no one wins the jackpot this Friday, the prize will continue to grow, leading to another draw with new numbers on Tuesday, September 17.
The Mega Millions game features five pots of balls numbered from 1 to 70, which are drawn to create the first five numbers. The Mega Ball is drawn from a separate pot of balls numbered from 1 to 25. Each draw offers players various prize tiers, with the jackpot and several lower-tier prizes ranging from $1 to $50.
