Mega Millions Lottery Streak Ends
Winning Numbers for August 9th Draw
Here's a closer look at the historic draw:
The winning Mega Millions numbers for Friday, August 9th, 2024, are in! After a record-breaking streak of 23 drawings without a jackpot winner, the highly anticipated draw has finally produced a winning ticket. The lucky ticket holder matched all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball to claim the staggering $405 million jackpot.
The winning numbers are:
- White Balls: 12, 18, 27, 42, 47
- Mega Ball: 19
The jackpot had been steadily climbing since Friday, June 7, when a player in Illinois matched all five white balls but missed the Mega Ball. This historic win marks the end of the longest Mega Millions jackpot streak since 2021.
The lucky winner has the option of receiving the jackpot as an annuity paid over 29 years or as a lump sum payment of $197.7 million.
