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 $60 million.

There were two tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, the Mega Millions Consortium, which conducts the game, announced.

The ticket sold in Florida had a multiplier of 10 for a $10 million prize while the ticket sold in Pennsylvania had a multiplier of 2 for a $2 million prize, according to the Mega Millions Consortium.

The numbers drawn Friday were 6, 19, 36, 40, 55 and the Mega number was 9. The estimated jackpot was $50 million.

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

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number is 1 in 290,472,336, according to the Mega Millions Consortium. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 35.

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