The Mega Millions jackpot keeps growing and reached an estimated $129 million for Tuesday's drawing after no one claimed the top prize on Friday.
The winning numbers will be drawn just after 11 p.m. on Tuesday and we'll have them below.
In March, a lucky Mega Millions player from New Jersey won a whopping $1.1 billion. Although that prize has not been claimed yet the lottery says that it's not the first time a jackpot went unclaimed.
If someone wins Tuesday night's $129 million jackpot, they can take home an estimated $61.5 million lump-sum payment, according to the lottery.
Check below for the winning numbers from the Tuesday, Oct. 8 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
