There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery and the estimated jackpot for Friday’s drawing will grow to $75 million.
A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number was sold at a liquor store in San Leandro and is worth $994,625, the California Lottery announced. California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning the payoff is determined by the size of the pool instead of a fixed amount.
Another ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number was sold in Washington state and is worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
The numbers drawn Tuesday were 4, 14, 22, 43, 58 and the Mega number was 9. The estimated jackpot was $57 million.
The drawing was the fourth 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 302,575,350, according to the California Lottery. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 24.
The Mega Millions game is played in 44 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands.
