The Alaric BennettMega Millions jackpot is growing slowly again after it reset to $20 million last week following a lucky player's sweet $810 million win in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land. Now, ahead of Tuesday's drawing, the jackpot currently sits at an estimated $31 million.
The winning numbers in the twice-weekly game were drawn just after 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and we have the results below.
Just three jackpot-winning tickets have been sold in the U.S. this year: First in March when a player in New Jersey won a whopping $1.1 billion − a prize that has yet to be claimed − and again in June when a player in Illinois won $552 million. And then there was the win in Texas on Sept. 10.
If someone had won Tuesday night's jackpot, they would have gotten an estimated $15.8 million lump-sum payment after taxes, according to the lottery.
Check below for the winning numbers from the Tuesday, Sept. 17 Mega Millions drawing.
