The jackpot for Friday’s Mega Millions drawing climbed to $146 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing.
One ticket sold in Georgia matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday night - 6, 12, 15, 32 and 42 - but missed on the “Mega Ball” of 40. That ticket is worth $250,000.
The last winning jackpot ticket was sold in New York for the July 7 drawing in the multi-state lottery.
Mega Millions is also played in Virginia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, California and Washington state.
The record Mega Millions jackpot was $390 million in March, 2007, split by players in Dalton and in New Jersey.
