INDIANAPOLIS — A lottery official says a jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket worth an estimated $540 million was sold in Indiana.
Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty tells The Associated Press it was the only jackpot-winning ticket in Friday night's Mega Millions drawing.
The consortium of lottery organizations that runs Mega Millions said a ticket matching all five white balls and the yellow ball would win an estimated $540 million.
The winning Mega Millions numbers are white balls 8-19-20-55-73 and yellow ball 5.
An estimated $1 billion in tickets have been sold since the last jackpot-winning ticket was drawn in early March. This is the longest Mega Millions run without a winner.
Tickets are sold in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
