Mega Millions Friday the 13th jackpot reaches $695 million
LOS ANGELES - Are you willing to test your luck this Friday the 13th? If you're superstitious, you could try your luck in the Mega Million drawing.
While no one got the Friday jackpot of $695 million, someone in California won $360,000, which isn't too shabby of a consolation prize. According to the California Lottery, the Mega Millions ticket worth $359,992 was sold at OK Liquor at 301 East South Street in Long Beach.
The $695 million would have been the 8th largest Mega Millions in history had someone won it on Friday. California Lottery sales for this jackpot originally began in September, coincidentally on another Friday the 13th.
According to state lottery officials, there have been 26 Mega Millions drawings with no grand prize winners since Friday, September 13th.
Below were the winning numbers for Friday, the 13th, which apparently no one got:
36, 43, 52, 58, 65. MB: 16.

In game history, seven Mega Millions jackpots have been won on a Friday the 13th.
In California, sales and any unclaimed jackpots help benefit public schools in the state.
The California Lottery estimates it’s raised about $48 million so far for schools just from Mega Millions sales these past three months alone.
