A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, was sold at the 7-Eleven at 1485 Ocotillo Drive in El Centro and is worth $190,535, a California Lottery official announced.
Two tickets with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, were sold in both Indiana and New York, and one each in Nebraska and Virginia and are each worth $250,000.
California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.
The numbers drawn Friday night were 6, 7, 13, 24, 46 and the Mega number was 34. The estimated jackpot was $21 million.
The drawing was the third 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 175,711,536, according to the Mega Millions website. The overall chance of winning a prize is 1 in 40.
The Mega Millions game is played in 42 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
