No tickets were sold in California matching five numbers, which would have been worth a little over $1.4 million, according to state lottery officials.
Six tickets matching five numbers were sold in Arizona, Maryland, Mississippi, South Dakota, Texas and Virginia, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game.
