The winning numbers drawn on Friday were 6, 23, 41, 59 and 63 with a Mega number of 25. The Megaplier was 2X.

Tickets purchased in California, Florida, Illinois, New Hampshire and Texas matched all five white balls and won $1 million, while another player in Ohio matched all five white balls and won $2 million using the optional Megaplier.

The winning Texas ticket was sold at a Stripes store in Lamesa, about 60 miles south of Lubbock.
