LOS ANGELES - The winning numbers for Tuesday night's Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $820 million have just been drawn. 

The potential jackpot is the fifth largest in the history of the game, Mega Millions said in a statement early Saturday.

The winning numbers were drawn at 8 p.m. PT, they are 3, 5, 6, 44, 61, and the Mega Ball number is 25.

Despite the game’s long odds of 1 in 302.6 million, players continue to purchase tickets as the size of the grand prize grows.
