The Mega Millions jackpot reached $560 million on Tuesday after no one matched all five numbers and the Megaball.
The numbers drawn Tuesday night were 10-17-33-51-64 with a Megaball of 05. The multiplier was 2X.
Update 12:47 a.m. EDT July 12: No one matched all five numbers and the Megaball, which means that Friday’s drawing will be worth $560 million.
The $560 million is the seventh-highest in the promotion’s history. If someone wins on Friday, they will also have a lump-sum cash option of $281.8 million before taxes, lottery officials said.
Lottery officials said that three tickets -- one each in California, South Dakota and Wisconsin -- matched five numbers and won $1 million apiece.
