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 Tuesday's drawing will grow to $122 million. There were two tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, one at a gas station-convenience store in Roseville in the Sacramento area and the other at a gas station in Gilroy, the southernmost city in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are each worth $293,600, the California Lottery announced.
California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis. A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, sold elsewhere would be worth at least $1 million. The numbers drawn Friday were 22, 45, 48, 58, 61 and the Mega number was 13. The estimated jackpot was $112 million. The drawing was the 12th 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.
