No ticket matched all the winning numbers in Friday's $415 million Mega Millions drawing, lottery officials said, raising the jackpot for Tuesday to an estimated $449 million.

The winning numbers drawn Friday night were 20-41-42- 45-49, with a Mega Ball of 14.

Tuesday's jackpot will be the largest jackpot since a $430 million Powerball prize won by a New Jersey family May 7.

The record prize was a $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot won in January by players in three states.

The odds of picking the correct numbers on five white balls and one yellow ball in the Mega Millions are one in 259 million.

Mega Millions is played in 43 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
