A big winning mega millions lottery ticket is sold out in long beach

A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, in Friday evening’s drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery was sold at a Long Beach convenience store and is worth $651,609, the California Lottery announced.

Another ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, was sold in Texas and is worth $1 million.

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.

There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in Friday’s drawing and the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing will grow to $322 million.

The numbers drawn Friday were 14, 17, 33, 42, 66 and the Mega number was 15.
