- Two Tickets Hit Three Million! This is The Lottery Rundown for Saturday August 29th Mega Millions drew Friday night with 8, 17, 29, 42 and 55, plus Mega Ball 2. No ticket matched all six, but two lucky ticket holders—one in Missouri and one in Tennessee—each scored 3 million dollars. Missouri and Tennessee have jointly misplaced the quiet Friday night. Eight returned after 49 drawings away, the longest absence in the lineup. Had you almost forgotten what it looked like? Tuesday’s jackpot climbs to 160 million dollars, with a cash value of 68 million 900 thousand dollars. That could buy a castle with a moat reserved for rubber ducks. The run now stands at nine drawings and 31 days, still a pretty normal stretch. Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Wednesday, August 26, with 12, 32, 45, 50 and 58, plus Powerball 2 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody matched all six. Among those white balls, 45 and 58 have been the busiest over the past six years, each appearing 67 times. Powerball draws tonight for a 119 million dollar jackpot, with a cash value of 51 million 600 thousand dollars. Its run is six drawings and 14 days old, which is short by recent standards.
