ATLANTA -- A single player in Ohio has won the grand prize from the latest Mega Millions lotto drawing.
Lottery officials said the winning ticket from Friday night's drawing -- worth $196 million -- was sold in Amelia, Ohio.
In addition to the grand prize winner, 17 players, including two from Illinois, matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each. The Illinois tickets were sold at shops in the Chicago suburbs of Alsip and Oak Park.
Another 69 players matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number -- good for third prizes of $10,000 each. Five of those tickets were sold in Illinois.
The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: six, eleven, 39, 46 and 47. The Mega Ball number was 26.
