ATLANTA — After months without a Mega Millions jackpot winner, someone won the big prize in Friday night's drawing.
The winning numbers for the $1.28 billion prize were 13-36-45-57-67, Mega Ball 14 and Megaplier 2. The cash option was $747.2 million.
The Mega Millions website said not only did one ticket win the jackpot, 26 tickets matched the five white balls to win $1 million. Six of them matched five with the Megaplier for $2 million.
The jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Illinois. The 20 tickets winning $1 million were sold in California, Florida (2), Georgia (2), Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota (2), North Carolina (2), New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas (2) and Wisconsin.
The $2 million winners were in Arkansas, Iowa, Pennsylvania -- and three of them in Florida.
The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot was April 15. Nearly 30 consecutive drawings without a winner grew it to almost record-breaking heights.
