Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $1.15 billion after Christmas Eve ...

(Gray News) - The Mega Millions jackpot reached an estimated $1.15 billion after no one matched all six numbers drawn on Christmas Eve. The cash value is estimated to be $516.1 million.

The numbers drawn Tuesday were 11, 14, 38, 45, 46 and 3.

Though no one won the jackpot, four tickets matched five of the numbers to win $1 million. Those tickets were sold in California, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Wyoming.

Another drawing will be held Friday for the $1.15 billion jackpot, which would be the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history. It would also be the largest jackpot won in the month of December, according to Mega Millions.

Mega Millions says the jackpot has been growing since a $810 million jackpot was won on Sept. 10.

Tuesday’s drawing will take place at 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Tickets are sold for $2 in 45 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
