Three tickets — one each sold in California, Arizona and New Jersey — had five numbers, but didn’t have the Mega number.
The one sold at Save Mart No. 73 in Lemoore in Central California is worth $182,696 and the other two are each worth $250,000, a California Lottery official announced.
California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.
The numbers drawn Tuesday night were 10, 11, 20, 42, 55 and the Mega number was 9. The estimated jackpot was $28 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.
