CALIFORNIA — The next Mega Millions winner will be getting a huge chunk of change since no tickets were sold with all six of the winning numbers in Friday night's drawing of the lottery. The estimated jackpot in the multi-state lottery could swell to $75 million. One ticket matched five numbers, but was missing the Mega number on Friday. That ticket was sold in neighboring Washington and is worth $1 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. The numbers drawn Friday were 6, 11, 50, 63, 68 and the Mega number was 17. The estimated jackpot was $64 million. The numbers drawn Friday were 6, 11, 50, 63, 68 and the Mega number was 17. The estimated jackpot was $64 million.
