Wed Sep 24 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Mega Millions Jackpot Rolls Over Again, Soaring to $474 Million
**[City, State] -** Dreams of striking it rich will have to wait a little longer, as no one matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing. The winning numbers for September 23rd were 13-24-41-42-70, with the Mega Ball being 18.
The estimated jackpot has now climbed to a staggering $474 million for the next drawing on Friday, September 26th. Had someone won Tuesday, they would have had the option of taking a one-time cash payout of $208.7 million.
Mega Millions has already created four millionaires this year, with recent winners hailing from Virginia ($348 million on June 27th), Ohio ($112 million on April 18th), Illinois ($344 million on March 25th) and Arizona ($113 million on January 17th).
Lottery hopefuls can purchase tickets at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. In select states and territories – Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia – tickets can even be purchased online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.
To play, participants select five white ball numbers between 1 and 70 and one gold Mega Ball number between 1 and 24. For those feeling indecisive, a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” option allows a computer to randomly generate the numbers. Importantly, Mega Millions tickets now include a built-in multiplier, potentially increasing non-jackpot winnings significantly.
