Lottery players across the state of Maryland checked their tickets following the Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026 drawings, which generated a new slate of winning combinations for several of the state’s most popular daily and multi-state games. From major nationwide jackpot contests to fast-paced local drawings, the Maryland Lottery oversees a wide spectrum of wagering options designed for different player preferences and payout scales.
Leading the evening’s nationwide excitement was the multi-state Mega Millions drawing. The winning numbers drawn on Sept. 15 were 27, 36, 43, 57, and 58, with the gold Mega Ball recorded as 16. Mega Millions drawings are conducted bi-weekly on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time, offering players throughout Maryland and participating jurisdictions the opportunity to compete for multi-million-dollar rolling jackpots.
In addition to the nationwide game, state-level daily numbers games drew considerable attention from players following their regular routines. The Maryland Lottery’s Pick 3 contest produced the winning sequence of 9-8-5 during the midday drawing, followed by 5-0-4 in the evening session. Pick 3 drawings are held twice daily, occurring at 12:27 p.m. ET on weekdays and 12:28 p.m. on weekends for the midday cycle, and 7:56 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday and 8:10 p.m. on Sundays for the evening cycle.
The Pick 4 game also concluded its two scheduled daily drawings on Sept. 15, yielding distinct sequences for ticket holders. The midday winning combination was 3-3-5-5, featuring a double pair of repeating digits, while the evening drawing resulted in the numbers 7-4-3-9. As with Pick 3, Pick 4 gives players multiple ways to wager, requiring participants to match four digits drawn under the exact same daily broadcast schedule.
For participants seeking larger fixed prizes through the state's five-digit daily game, the Sept. 15 Pick 5 drawings delivered combinations for both day and night. The midday Pick 5 numbers were drawn as 6-6-9-7-6, while the evening numbers landed on 8-2-5-0-0. Pick 5 follows the identical midday and evening timetable as Pick 3 and Pick 4, rounding out the daily numbered draw offerings available throughout Maryland.
The lottery’s Cash Pop game, known for its frequent daily cycles, held four separate drawings throughout Tuesday. The winning number for the 9:00 a.m. drawing was 10, followed by 06 at the 1:00 p.m. drawing, 06 once again at the 6:00 p.m. drawing, and 13 to close out the night at the 11:00 p.m. drawing. Cash Pop operates on a single-number mechanic, offering players consistent chances to win across four distinct time slots every day of the week.
Tuesday night’s schedule also featured the Bonus Match 5 game, a long-standing state favorite. The winning selection drawn on Sept. 15 consisted of five main numbers—13, 19, 24, 29, and 34—accompanied by a Bonus Ball number of 09. Bonus Match 5 drawings are held nightly at 7:56 p.m. ET from Monday through Saturday and at 8:10 p.m. ET on Sunday evenings.
Beyond scheduled daily and weekly drawings, the Maryland Lottery provides continuous action through games like Keno, where drawings occur every four minutes around the clock. These frequent intervals offer rapid gameplay for patrons visiting licensed retail spots, social establishments, and gaming centers throughout the state.
Following the confirmation of winning combinations, players are advised to understand the specific prize redemption procedures established by the Maryland Lottery. For any winning ticket valued at $600 or less, players can claim their cash directly at any authorized Maryland Lottery retail location across the state without needing to submit formal claim paperwork to lottery headquarters.
For tickets carrying prizes that exceed $600, winners have the option to redeem their awards by mail. To file a mail-in claim, the ticket holder must sign the back of the winning ticket, complete an official lottery claim form, and include a photocopy of a valid government-issued photo identification along with documentation proving their Social Security number or Federal Tax ID number. These materials must be mailed directly to the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center, located at 1800 Washington Boulevard, Suite 330, Baltimore, MD 21230.
Players seeking in-person redemption for prizes over $600 can visit the Maryland Lottery headquarters at 1800 Washington Boulevard in Baltimore. Headquarters visits require an appointment and are scheduled Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Claimants must present the signed original ticket, valid government-issued photo ID, and Social Security or tax identification proof. All payouts exceeding $5,000 must be redeemed in person.
Winning tickets valued up to $25,000 can also be redeemed at cashier windows in select Maryland casinos and through Expanded Cashing Authority Program (XCAP) locations. Participating casino destinations include Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore, MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Live! Casino in Hanover, Ocean Downs Casino in Berlin, Hollywood Casino in Perryville, and Rocky Gap Casino in Flintstone. Guests must be at least 21 years old to enter casino premises.

The daily Cash4Life drawing takes place at 9:00 p.m. ET, while the in-state MultiMatch game holds drawings on Monday and Thursday evenings at 7:56 p.m. ET.
