A Powerball ticket sold in California won $32,644, but just missed the $181 million jackpot, lottery officials say. The ticket matched four winning numbers and the Powerball in the drawing Wednesday, Jan. 1, the California Lottery said.

Here are the Mega Millions winning numbers for Friday, Jan, 3, 2025: There was no winner so the jackpot will rise to an estimated $62 million with a cash option of $27.7 million for Tuesday's drawing. Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m.

The Powerball jackpot increased again after it remained unclaimed, but one lucky person won a couple million on Christmas.
