There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing to $250 million.

One ticket each with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, was sold in North Carolina and Texas. They are each worth $2 million, the Mega Millions Consortium, which conducts the game, announced.

The numbers drawn Friday were 2, 22, 33, 42, 67 and the Mega number was 1. The estimated jackpot was $230 million.

The drawing was the 13th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The Mega Millions game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands.
