Single Winner From Piqua, Ohio Took $207 Million Jackpot

Mega Millions is played in a dozen states, but because they are among the nation’s most populous, the lottery’s jackpots rival Powerball’s.

The last time Mega Millions had a jackpot as large as last night’s was in February, when a Georgia man, playing a combination of his grandchildren’s birthdays, hit a $275 million jackpot, and took the cash, about $167.7 million.

A single winner has taken the $207 million jackpot from the latest drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery.

The only ticket to match all the winnings numbers from Friday night’s drawing was sold in Piqua, Ohio.

The next Mega Millions drawing will be on Tuesday night with a jackpot of $12 million.

In addition to the grand prize winner on Friday, 23 players won the second prize of $250,000: 2 from California, 3 from Georgia, 2 from Massachusetts, 2 from Maryland, 2 from Michigan, 2 from New Jersey, 2 from New York, 1 from Ohio, 6 from Texas, and 1 from Virginia.

The two California second-prize winners will receive $256,907 each.

Another 113 players won the third prize of $10,000. 16 of those winners, from California, will receive $8,758 each.

The winning numbers from Friday night’s drawing were: 10, 16, 19, 27, and 48. The Mega Ball number was 25.

The Texas Megaplier was 3.
