Mega Millions winning numbers drawn; jackpot estimated at $336 million

The winning numbers in Friday evening's Mega Millions drawing were 06-14-36-58-62, with a Mega Ball of 24, lottery officials reported.

The drawing took place on Friday, Sept. 6, 2025. The Mega Millions jackpot was estimated at $336 million.

No information was included in the drawing notice indicating whether a single ticket matched all six numbers to claim the top prize. Smaller prizes are awarded for matching fewer numbers, and winners typically have a specified period to claim prizes in the state where the ticket was purchased.

Separately, lottery officials reported that a Powerball drawing is scheduled amid a jackpot that has grown to about $1.8 billion. That drawing attracted widespread attention as the multimillion-dollar top prizes in the nation’s two largest multistate lottery games drew large numbers of ticket purchases.

Mega Millions and Powerball are run by multi-jurisdictional consortiums that manage sales, drawings and prize payments across participating states and territories. Jackpots rise when no ticket matches all required numbers; when a jackpot is hit, the advertised top prize is typically paid as an annuity over several decades or as a one-time lump sum, depending on the winner’s choice and state regulations.

Lottery officials encourage players to check tickets carefully and to sign the back of any winning ticket to help establish ownership. Winners have different claim procedures and deadlines depending on where the ticket was sold. The lotteries also advise seeking legal and financial counsel before claiming large prizes.

State gaming commissions and the multi-state lottery organizations publish official results, prize breakdowns and claim instructions on their websites following each drawing.
