Mega Millions winning numbers for June 24 drawing

The winning numbers in Friday evening's drawing of the "Mega Millions" game were:

11-14-54-57-63, Mega Ball: 11, Megaplier: 5

The Mega Millions jackpot was up to an estimated $363 million — the sixth largest in the game’s history, according to lottery officials.

The jackpot has climbed after 30 straight drawings without a winner. The last winning draw in Mega Millions was March 8, when a ticket was sold in Washington state that matched all the winning numbers.

Officials said the current cash value for the $363 million Mega draw is $244 million — the largest prize offered in the game since March 18, 2014, when two tickets (sold in Florida and Maryland) shared a $414 million jackpot.

The record Mega Millions jackpot is $656 million, when three tickets shared that jackpot on March 30, 2012. Next is the $648 million jackpot split by two winners on Dec. 17, 2013.
