Three Mega Millions players win $1 million prizes. Where were lucky tickets sold?

Three Mega Millions tickets sold in the United States won $1 million and narrowly missed the $162 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

Tickets sold in Massachusetts, Missouri and Tennessee matched the five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, July 5, the national Mega Millions site said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $181 million, with a cash option of approximately $84.3 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, July 9, the site said.

The winning numbers were 6, 15, 32, 54 and 67 with a Mega Ball of 4. The Megaplier was 3.

More than 675,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $30,000 in the drawing, the lottery said.

The Mega Millions jackpot has gone unclaimed since June 4, when an Illinois player hit the $552 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
