LOS ANGELES (CNS) – There were no tickets sold with all six numbers in the latest drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions lottery, pushing the estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s (Oct. 20) drawing to $413 million.

A ticket with five numbers, but missing the Mega number, was sold in New York and is worth $5 million, because its multiplier was 5, the Mega Millions Consortium, which conducts the game, announced.
