One ticket matched $290M jackpot
Staff and wire report
A single player from Lowell, Mass., has won the grand prize from the latest Mega Millions lotto drawing.
Lottery officials in Atlanta, where the Mega Millions game is headquartered, said the winning ticket from Friday night's drawing was worth $290 million.
In addition to the grand-prize winner, 37 players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $175,000 each.
Two of those 37 tickets were sold in Ohio; the rest were bought in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington state.
Ohio Lottery officials said late Saturday that they were waiting to hear where the two Ohio tickets that won $175,000 each had been purchased.
Another 246 players in the Mega Millions game matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number - good for third prizes of $5,000 each.
Friday's winning numbers were 10, 25, 38, 39 and 50. The Mega Ball number was 12.
