Mega Millions announced in a drawing Tuesday that a ticket worth $1 million was sold in Illinois.
The ticket matched the five white balls to win the game's $1 million second prize, according to a release. Mega Millions did not provide additional information, such as where the ticket was sold.
Mega Millions said there were 1,197,065 winning tickets drawn Tuesday, with prizes ranging from $2 to $1 million, a release said.
No tickets nationwide, however, matched all six numbers in Tuesday night's jackpot drawing, which will make Friday the tenth largest possible prize in Mega Millions history - worth an estimated $480 million, $276 million in cash.
