Tonight’s winning numbers were: 4 – 26 – 42 – 50 – 60 with a yellow Mega ball of 24. The Megaplier was 2X.

Typically, it takes about two hours to find out if anyone won a Mega Millions jackpot as large as tonight’s was. We knew the results shortly before 1 a.m. Eastern.

According to Mega Millions’ webpage, the jackpot winner is from Michigan.

The drawing is at 11 p.m. Eastern (10 p.m. Central/9 p.m. Mountain/8 p.m. Pacific) on Tuesdays and Fridays. It’s typically not until after 1 a.m. Eastern when we know if anyone won, and that was right around when we found out this week. When the jackpot was $432 million on January 5, we still didn’t know that no one had won by 1 a.m. Eastern. Then for January 15 when the jackpot was much higher, the results weren’t known until about 2 a.m. Eastern. But for January 19, we knew the results by 12:45 a.m. Eastern, which was close to when we found out the results for January 22.
