Mega Millions jackpot grows to $1.35 billion; three tickets in Virginia win $10k

There was no winner in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing, so the estimated jackpot for Friday is now $1.35 billion.

In Virginia, three tickets won $10,000 each including one ticket sold in Charlottesville.

The three tickets that each won $10,000 did so by matching four of the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball number.

Those tickets were bought at:

• Smithfield BP, 1808 South Church Street in Smithfield
• Beulah BP Mart, 4224 Beulah Road in Richmond
• 7-Eleven, 1907 Emmett Street in Charlottesville

A total of 178,551 tickets bought in Virginia won prizes in Tuesday’s drawing.

The winning numbers in the Tuesday, January 10, drawing are 7-13-14-15-18, and the Mega Ball number is 9.

The next Mega Millions drawing will be Friday night at 11 p.m. Tickets may be bought until 10:45 p.m. on the night of the drawing.

The odds of matching all six numbers to win the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.
