LOS ANGELES (CNS) - 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 $875 million, the 10th-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.
One ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, was sold in New York and is worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
The numbers drawn Friday were 13, 25, 50, 51, 66 and the Mega number was 6. The estimated jackpot was $815 million.
The drawing was the 28th since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.
Tuesday's jackpot is the sixth-largest in the history of the Mega Millions game, which began in 1996 as The Big Game and was given the new name Mega Millions in 2002. There have been four Powerball drawings with larger jackpots.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number are 1 in 302,575,350, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. 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.
