- Jackpots Combine for over 550 Million! This is The Lottery Rundown for Saturday September 19th Friday night, Mega Millions drew 4, 9, 24, 56 and 68, plus Mega Ball 1. No ticket matched all six, so the top prize rolls on. White ball 24 returned after 27 drawings away, the longest break among Friday’s five, while Mega Ball 1 ranks among the five most-drawn Mega Balls of the past six years with 29 appearances. Were you waiting for 24 to make that comeback? Tuesday’s jackpot is estimated at 261 million dollars, with a cash value of 110 million 500 thousand dollars. The run has reached 15 drawings and 52 days without a jackpot winner, but that wait is still about middle-of-the-pack by recent standards. Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Wednesday, September 16, with 2, 21, 24, 25 and 64, plus Powerball 7 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody matched all six. White ball 2 returned after 25 drawings away; that is less a vacation than a sabbatical. Meanwhile, 21 remains the most-drawn white ball of the past six years, appearing 81 times. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 298 million dollars, with a cash value of 127 million 200 thousand dollars. That could buy a grand memorial devoted entirely to lost socks. The jackpot has rolled through 15 drawings and 35 days, still stretching its legs.
