The Mega Millions jackpot has jumped to an estimated $565 million after no one took home the top prize in Friday's drawing, the lottery announced on Saturday.
jackpot was won on October 14, when two tickets sold in California and Florida shared a $502 million prize, according to the news release.
The numbers drawn on Friday were 15, 21, 32, 38 and 62, plus the gold Mega Ball 8. No one matched all six winning numbers but two tickets sold in California and Illinois matched five of them, taking home the lottery's second-biggest prize of $1 million each, the lottery said. An additional 31 tickets across the country matched 4 numbers and the Mega Ball for the $10,000 third-tier prize, the lottery said.
