The jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery game grew to $75 million Friday.
None of the tickets sold for Friday's $63 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing is tonight at 11:00 PM Eastern Time.
There were four second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing, matching all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $250,000 each.
One of the second-prize tickets sold in California was worth $341,445, because California uses pari-mutuel prize payouts, instead of the fixed-prize payouts used by the other Mega Millions states. California's prizes can be bigger or smaller than the other states' prizes, depending on how many people won.
Also, 21 players matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.
The winning numbers from Friday's drawing were: eleven, 42, 52, 53 and 55. The Mega Ball number was 28.
I hope that you guys and gals do not mind if this Oregonian takes this jackpot off of your hands tonight. I know that none of you will miss this $75 million any ways!-weshar75
last year at this time the jackpot was 365 million dollars!!!! Ah the good old days.....
That was Powerball not Mega. Mega was 315 million. Powerball hit 365 this year.
Mean while Euromillions with odds 100 million less has broken that twice in just this year in cash value. Amazing what a higher ticket price can do.
Who knows what year Mega will break 300 million. Considering that the election is over I wonder if the people running the turkey known as Mega can fix it. I'm sure the states in it would appriciate the higher sales.

I hear you, but at the same time it's interesting that ticket sales have continued to be strong. Maybe the win streak is prompting people to play at the lower levels too. Jackpots seem to rise by $10 million+ despite the many hits.

Just got my tickets.
75 Million will be fine for me.
Someone won. Again. At a low jackpot level. What a shock. Wonder since the election is over if the people running this joke are going to fix it.
