A ticket with all six numbers in the Tuesday, January, 13, multi-state Mega Millions draw was sold in New York and is worth $22 million, California Lottery officials announced.
Five tickets -- one each sold in California, Illinois, Texas and two in New York -- had five numbers, but didn't have the Mega number. All but the one sold in California is worth $250,000.
The value of the California ticket is expected to be announced Wednesday. State law restricts payoffs of California Lottery games to pari-mutuel prizes.
The numbers drawn tonight were 22, 25, 33, 36, 48 and the Mega number was 40.
The drawing was the third since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold. A ticket sold in the San Diego suburb of Pacific Beach for the Jan. 2 draw had all six numbers and was worth $46 million.
The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number is 1 in 175,711,536, according to the Mega Millions Web site.
The jackpot for Friday's draw will be $12 million.
Besides California, the Mega Millions game is played in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
