Tonight's winning numbers for a $1.1 billion jackpot are 7, 13, 14, 15 and 18 with the mega ball 9.

One person that bought a ticket in Hacienda Heights hit five numbers in Tuesday's drawing, according to CA Lottery. 

That person wins $3,970,609, but with no jackpot winner, Friday's jackpot could be up to $1.5 billion! 

----------------------------------

After nearly three months of lottery losing, will someone break the trend Tuesday night and win a $1.1 billion Mega Millions jackpot?

Regardless of how long it takes, the odds of winning the top lottery prize don't change, and they're formidable at 1 in 302.6 million. But someone will eventually match all six numbers and win the jackpot, which now ranks as the fifth-largest in U.S. history.

The drawing is set for 11 p.m. EST but it usually takes a couple hours before it's clear if there is a winner.

The $1.1 billion prize is for a winner who chooses to be paid through an annuity with 30 payments over 29 years. Winners usually prefer cash, which for Tuesday night's drawing would be an estimated $568.7 million.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You can buy tickets at Gold Ranch, Truckee, Markleeville or Hallelujah Junction.
