(KTLA) — One lucky Southern Californian is the state’s newest lottery winner after numbers for the $464 million Mega Millions jackpot were drawn Friday night.

The winning numbers were 22, 38, 48, 51, 61 and the Megaball number was 5. The Megaplier was 3X.

One SoCal ticket matched five numbers and will take home $1,016,356. The winning ticket was sold at Pavilions Place supermarket located at 21181 Newport Coast Drive in Newport Beach.

However, that ticket was not the grand prize winner as no one was able to match all six numbers to claim the $464 million jackpot.

The jackpot will increase to an estimated $498 million for next Tuesday night’s drawing on Aug. 20.

The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot is about 1 in 302.6 million.

USA Mega, which tracks Mega Millions statistics, says the most common Mega Millions numbers are 10, 3, 17, 14 and 46 for the first five numbers. The most common Mega ball number is 11.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states and the District of Columbia. Tickets are $2 and there are a total of nine ways to win a prize. Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday.
