Jackpot Soars to $423 Million for Friday Mega Millions Drawing

Rockland, NY — The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has grown to an estimated $423 million for the drawing on Friday, September 19. This figure comes after no one matched all the winning numbers in the previous draw on September 16.

If a player successfully matches all six numbers, they will have the option of a one-time cash payment of $196.5 million. Drawings are held at 11 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday, and players in New York can purchase tickets until 10 p.m. on the night of the draw.

The winning numbers for September 19 are 2, 22, 27, 42, 58, with the Mega Ball being 8. Players can also choose the Quick Pick option, where the computer randomly generates their numbers.

This year’s lottery has seen four winners so far, the most recent being from Virginia, who won a $348 million jackpot on June 27. Players interested in winning can purchase tickets for $5, which now includes a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes.

The upcoming drawing on September 23 will continue to see interest as the jackpot climbs. Winning prizes range from $10 to millions, based on the number of matches players achieve with their chosen numbers. For example, matching just the Mega Ball can win between $10 to $50.
