LOS ANGELES — Two Mega Millions tickets sold in Los Angeles County are worth $650,579, the California Lottery announced.
The tickets, featuring five of the six multi-state Mega Millions numbers, were sold in LA's Lincoln Heights neighborhood and in Lancaster. The Lincoln Heights ticket was sold at Liquor, 2501 Pasadena Avenue. The Lancaster ticket was sold at Bootleggers 2 at 111 East Avenue K.
Those winning tickets were one number shy of the $1.05 billion jackpot — the seventh-largest U.S. lottery jackpot in history. Since there were no tickets sold with all six winning numbers, Friday's drawing will be the sixth largest at an estimated $1.25 billion, according to the California Lottery.
