One Mega Millions jackpot ticket sold in California
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Fox 29 News) - What would you do if you won $530 million overnight?
For a California resident, that pie-in-the-sky hypothetical came to fruition during Friday night's drawing.
The winning numbers, 17-19-27-40-68 with a gold Mega Ball 2, matched a single ticket in San Diego to win the $530 million jackpot. The winner also has the option of a cash payout of $345.2 million.
Mega Millions officials say the drawing is the seventh-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history, and the 15th largest in lottery history.
The jackpot total swelled to over a billion dollars after a Missouri resident won in early March.
Three additional tickets were sold in California, Arizona and Washington that matched all four white balls to claim a $1 million prize each.
The Mega Millions will reset and draw again on Tuesday for a 'measly' $40 million.
