New York: The winning numbers have been drawn for the fourth-largest jackpot in the history of the Mega Millions lottery that is played in the majority of US states but it is not yet known if a matching ticket was sold.
The winning numbers from Tuesday night`s drawing for a top prize of $344 million (Rs.2,100 crores) were: 5, 12, 22, 41, 65 and 13, Mega Millions said.
No one has won the jackpot in more than two months, pushing the purse steadily higher, although it remains well below the record-setting $656 million (Rs. 4,000 crores) won on March 30, 2012.
The next largest prizes in the 17-year history of Mega Millions were worth $390 million and $380 million.
A winner would have the choice of taking the full amount in an annuity or a cash prize of $184 million, according to the game`s website at www.megamillions.com.
