When it comes to chasing big wins, the Maryland Lottery keeps players on their toes with plenty of games and daily results that could turn any regular day into a lucky one. The Sept. 5, 2025 drawings brought plenty of action across the board, from the big national jackpots down to Maryland’s fan-favorite daily numbers. Let’s break it all down.
The Headliner: Mega Millions
Friday night’s Mega Millions pulled the numbers 06, 14, 36, 58, 62 with the Mega Ball 24. For those who keep their eyes on the billion-dollar prize, these are the digits that mattered most. Even if you didn’t hit the jackpot, smaller payouts are always worth checking—you never know if your ticket could cover a nice weekend getaway or at least a round of drinks with friends.
Daily Numbers: Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5
One of the best things about the Maryland Lottery is the daily excitement. The Pick 3 numbers rolled out as:
-
Midday: 6-9-9
-
Evening: 1-5-9
Moving on to Pick 4, here’s what came up:
-
Midday: 5-6-6-9
-
Evening: 6-7-0-7
For those aiming a little higher, the Pick 5 results were:
-
Midday: 7-5-2-3-3
-
Evening: 8-5-7-2-6
These smaller draw games might not make you an instant millionaire, but the thrill of seeing your numbers match is part of the fun—and the payouts can still be surprisingly sweet.
Bonus Match 5
Maryland’s own Bonus Match 5 added another layer of excitement. The winning combination was 11, 12, 26, 31, 36, with Bonus Ball 32. This game has built its own local fan base because it strikes a balance—bigger wins than daily numbers but not quite as elusive as those massive national jackpots.
Cash4Life – $1,000 a Day Dream
If you’re in it for consistency over a lifetime, the Cash4Life drawing served up 06, 19, 39, 54, 57 with the Cash Ball 02. Remember, the big prize here isn’t just a one-time windfall—it’s the promise of $1,000 a day for life. Not a bad way to secure your morning coffee for the next few decades.
Cash Pop
Maryland also keeps things lighthearted with Cash Pop, giving players multiple shots throughout the day:
-
9 a.m.: 07
-
1 p.m.: 11
-
6 p.m.: 06
-
11 p.m.: 12
It’s quick, it’s fun, and the format is simple—just one number, but plenty of chances to hit.
Don’t Forget About Keno
And for those who like a rapid pace, Keno continues to draw numbers every four minutes. If you’ve got a few spare bucks and some time to kill, this one keeps the action going nonstop.
Claiming Your Prize
So, what happens if you hit it big—or even small? Maryland makes it fairly simple:
-
Prizes up to $600 can be claimed directly at any lottery retailer.
-
Prizes over $600 require mailing in your ticket or visiting the Maryland Lottery office, an Expanded Cashing Authority location, or the cashier windows at Maryland casinos.
-
Prizes over $5,000? You’ll need to head in person to claim those.
If you’re mailing your ticket, don’t forget the essentials: sign the back, fill out a claim form, and include photocopies of your government ID and proof of your Social Security or Federal Tax ID number. Then send everything off to the Maryland Lottery office.
Final Thoughts
From the life-changing Mega Millions jackpot to the everyday thrill of Pick 3 and Cash Pop, the Maryland Lottery offers a little something for everyone. Whether you play casually for fun or seriously chase those big wins, Sept. 5’s results prove there’s always a chance for Marylanders to dream big.
