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 Friday’s drawing to $520 million.
A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, was sold at a liquor store in Ventura and is worth $1,512,372, the California Lottery announced.
Tickets sold in other states with five numbers, but missing the Mega number are worth between $2 million and $10 million, depending on the multiplier.
However, payout amounts in California are on a pari-mutuel basis under state law and determined by sales and the number of winners.
The base prize amount for the ticket was $756,186. With the multiplier being 2, the total prize amount is $1,512,372, according to the California Lottery.
The numbers drawn Tuesday were 4, 8, 27, 37, 63 and the Mega number was 14. The estimated jackpot was $497 million.
The drawing was the 27th 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 23.
The Mega Millions game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands.
