The Mega Millions jackpot climbs to an estimated $62 million for Tuesday's drawing after no one claimed the prize on Friday.
The winning numbers were drawn just after 11 p.m. on Friday and we have them below.
Just last week the $810 million jackpot was won by a lucky Texas player on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
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 won Friday night's $47 million jackpot, they could've taken home an estimated $23.5 million lump-sum payment after taxes, according to the lottery.
Check below for the winning numbers from the Friday, Sept. 20 Mega Millions drawing.

How to play the Mega Millions
In order to buy a ticket, you'll have to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store − and in a handful of states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you will need to pick six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is one number between 1 and 25.
If you believe the odds are against you, ask for a "Quick Pick" or an "Easy Pick," the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.
Players can add the "Megaplier" for $1, which can increase non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday.
There are 15 Megapiler balls in all:
- 2X, five balls
- 3X, six balls
- 4X, three balls
- 5X, one ball
