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 $145 million.
A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, in Friday’s drawing was sold at a supermarket in La Quinta and is worth $1,499,864, the California Lottery announced.
While tickets with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, sold in other states are worth $1 million or a multiple of $1 million, California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning they are determined by sales and the number of winners.
The ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, sold in Pennsylvania is worth $1 million, lottery officials said.
The numbers drawn Friday were 11, 19, 31, 49, 56 and the Mega number was 16. The estimated jackpot was $129 million.
The drawing was the eighth since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number are 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 45 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands.
