Nobody took home close to a billion dollars Friday night, but someone did get close.

One person, who bought a ticket at an AM/PM gas station in Morgan Hill, matched 5 of the 6 numbers on a ticket, according to California Lottery.

The winning numbers were 15, 23, 53, 65, 70 and Mega Ball 7.

With no mega winners, the jackpot total for Mega Millions is now the largest lottery prize ever at a staggering $1.6 billion.

The next drawing will be on Tuesday.

That number has been growing since July when a group of California office workers won $543 million. And it could grow even more by Tuesday.

It beats out the Jan. 13, 2016, drawing for a Powerball jackpot of $1.58 billion.

The previous record for a Mega Millions jackpot was in 2012 when the prize was $656 million, which was divided among winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.

The chances of matching all six numbers and winning aren’t easy, at 1 in 302.5 million.

Nonetheless, people throughout the Bay Area came out in droves Friday to buy a $2 ticket in hopes of winning the jackpot that came in just under $1 billion.

No one wanted a doughnut or a slice of pizza at a 7-Eleven on Sansome Street in San Francisco on Friday night.

People lined up just before 7:45 p.m. in the last moments before the drawing to buy a ticket. One man handed $20 to the cashier and told his friend that she could pay him back later.

They walked out with 10 tickets in hand.

A bakery employee at Safeway in San Francisco won $1.9 million in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing after he hit five of the six winning numbers.
