Dec. 31 (UPI) -- The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $785 million after Friday's drawing failed to produce a jackpot winner.

One lottery ticket matched the first five numbers but not the mega ball. The winning ticket, which was purchased in Ohio, is worth $1 million.

This is the fourth time the jackpot has surpassed $700 million, on all three previous occasions the total ended up surpassing $1 billion.

In 2018, a ticket in South Carolina won a $1.5 billion jackpot, last year a ticket in Michigan won a $1.05 billion jackpot and in July a ticket in Illinois won $1.3 billion.

The next drawing will be on Tuesday.
