Somebody In California Has 5 Numbers!

LOS ANGELES (CBS)  ̶   Nobody had the winning ticket in tonight's Mega Millions lottery which means that Friday's jackpot will grow to $76 million.

According to California Lottery officials, it's the sixth drawing since the last time a ticket with all six numbers winning numbers was sold.  That's because the odds sucks -- 1 in 175,711,536 -- according to the Mega Millions website.

Six tickets -- one sold in California, three in New York two in Michigan -- had five numbers, but none had the Mega number.

The lucky California winner will take home $226,991, while the other five winners each get $250,000 and California law requires most major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis.

The numbers drawn tonight were 15, 22, 23, 48, 55 and the Mega number was 31.  The estimated jackpot was $64 million.
