CLEVELAND, Ohio Lottery players have a shot tonight at one of the largest-ever jackpots.
Tonight's Mega Millions jackpot is $309 million, the ninth-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever. The record jackpot of $656 million was set in December 2012.
The numbers from Friday's drawing were 11, 13, 51, 57 and 69, and the Mega Ball was 1. Three tickets matched the first five numbers but fell short of including the Mega Ball. Those tickets, worth $1 million each, were sold in Massachusetts, New York and Texas.
The next drawing for the Mega Millions is at 11 p.m. today, and ticket sales stop at 10:45 p.m.
Wednesday's Classic Lotto drawing boasts a jackpot of $63.1 million after no one matched Monday's winning numbers of 15, 22, 31, 37, 43 and 46. The next drawing is at 7:05 p.m. Wednesday, and ticket sales stop five minutes prior to the drawing.
The jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing has risen to $60 million after no one matched Saturday's winning numbers of 10, 14, 24, 32 and 41 plus the Power Ball of 30.
Five players matched the first five numbers, but missed the Power Ball. Three of those players, in Florida, New York and Pennsylvania, won $1 million, while two players, in Indiana and New Jersey, won the Power Play and doubled their winnings to $2 million. The next drawing is at 10:59 p.m. Wednesday.
