And the winner of the Friday night Mega Millions jackpot of $420 million was: nobody.
That means the next drawing on Tuesday at 11 p.m. will be for an estimated $470 million, according to a Mega Millions news release.
Had anybody bought the winning ticket Friday night, the numbers were 27-28-32-41-69 (Mega Ball 12, Megaplier 2X).
Two people, one in California and one in Kentucky, got the match 5 numbers for a $1 million payout. Thirty tickets were $10,000 winners; three of those are worth $20,000 each because they matched the Megaplier, Mega Millions said.
The chances of winning Mega Millions are 1 in 24, but that includes the lowest payout of $2. The odds of winning the jackpot are slightly lower: 1 in 302,575,350.
The Powerball drawing is Saturday night. The estimated jackpot is $254 million (cash value of $148.4 million).
