(Des Moines, Iowa) — One winning ticket has been sold in the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot.
The top prize drawn on Friday is the third-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
The winning numbers are: 4, 26, 42, 50, 60 and a Mega Ball of 24.
The winning ticket was sold at a Kroger store in Novi, Michigan.
The Mega Millions jackpot had been growing since Sept. 15, when a winning ticket was sold in Wisconsin.
Friday night’s drawing comes two days after a ticket sold in Maryland matched all six numbers drawn and won a $731.1 million Powerball jackpot.
