One ticket wins $75 million jackpot

One ticket matched all six Mega Millions numbers in the Tuesday, November 14, 2006 drawing, and now players are checking their tickets to see who won the estimated $75 million jackpot. The jackpot-winning ticket, which was purchased in Canton, Michigan, matched the numbers 9-20-24-25-36 and the Mega Ball number 23.

But that certainly wasn't the only winner in Tuesday's drawing. A total of 563,911 tickets won Mega Millions prizes.

Six tickets came within just one number of winning it all. Each of them matched the first five numbers and only missed the Mega Ball number. Those tickets were purchased in California, Massachusetts, New York (2), Ohio, and Virginia.

The jackpot for the Friday, November 17, 2006 Mega Millions drawing is $12 million.
