West Virginia (WOAY)- While you’re shopping for the perfect Christmas gift, the real treasure might be hidden in a nearly $1 billion lottery ticket.
No one matched all six numbers in Friday’s night mega millions drawing, raising the estimated jackpot to $944 million.
One lucky winner will get the choice to take home a lump sum of $429 million.
Friday’s winning numbers were 2, 20, 51, 56, and 67, and the mega ball was 19.
The next Mega Millions drawing is Christmas Eve.
December has historically been a pretty lucky month for players with 13 jackpots won during the holiday season.
However, no one has ever won a jackpot on Christmas day, according to the Mega Millions organization.
