Mega Millions players win $1 million prize. Where were the lucky tickets sold?

Mega Millions tickets sold in Oregon and Tennessee won $1 million and narrowly missed the $405 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The tickets matched five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, Aug. 9, according to the national Mega Millions site.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $435 million, with a cash option of approximately $212.4 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, Aug. 13, the site said.

The winning numbers were 12, 32, 38, 40 and 57, with a Mega Ball of 21. The Megaplier was 2.

More than 755,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $20,000 in the drawing, the lottery said.

The Mega Millions jackpot has gone unclaimed since June 4, when an Illinois player hit the $552 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
