Two Mega Millions players win $1 million. Where were the lucky tickets sold?

MIAMI — Mega Millions tickets sold in Illinois and New Jersey win $1 million and narrowly missed the $306 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, July 26, the national Mega Millions site said. A ticket sold in California, which adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners, also matched five numbers to win $415,055, McClatchy News reported.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $331 million, with a cash option of approximately $156.2 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, July 30, the national site said. The winning numbers were 2, 14, 33, 58 and 65 with a Mega Ball of 3. The Megaplier was 3. Nearly 725,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $30,000 in the drawing, the lottery said. The Mega Millions jackpot has gone unclaimed since June 4, when an Illinois player hit the $552 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
