No ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night, according to Mega Millions. Numbers drawn were 20, 41, 42, 45 and 49, plus the Mega Ball 14.
The biggest Mega Millions jackpot was in 2013 when players in California and Georgia split $648 million.
Four tickets Friday matched five of the dawn numbers. Tickets sold in Massachusetts and New York were worth $1 million. Two others sold in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania were doubled to $2 million because they opted for the Megaplier.
Mega Millions is played in 43 states and the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands.
The odds of matching all six numbers are 1 in 258,890,850.
The other large lottery game, Powerball, is at $243 million and its drawing is Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla. Its largest jackpot was $1.6 billion in January
