Winning $144M lottery ticket sold in Texas

Someone won the $144 million Mega Millions lottery drawing Friday night and it was not any of us.

One winning ticket was sold in Texas.

The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: 1, 10, 22, 23 and 38. The Mega Ball number was 19.

One person who purchased a Mega Millions ticket in Georgia matched five of five numbers but not the Mega Ball to win $250,000. Two more people who purchased tickets in Georgia matched four of the five numbers but not the Mega Ball to win $10,000.

The Mega Millions drawing Tuesday night will be worth a projected $12 million.

Powerball tickets, another multi-state lottery, will go on sale in Georgia beginning Sunday.
