It is now the 7th largest jackpot in Mega Millions history. The next drawing is on Tuesday.
There were six tickets sold that matched five of the six numbers. They were sold in California, Florida, Illinois, New Hampshire, Texas and Ohio.
The 5/6 ticket in California - worth $2.23 million - was sold at an Arco ampm store in Cathedral City.
The ticket sold in Ohio is worth $2 million because it included the optional Megaplier, which was 2X Friday night.
Friday's winning numbers were: white balls 6, 23, 41, 59, 63, plus the gold Mega Ball 25.
The jackpot has been growing since someone won $552 million in Illinois on June 4.
In the 27 drawings in this jackpot run to date, there have been more than 20.7 million winning tickets sold. These include 57 second-tier prizes of $1 million or more, won across the country, according to lottery officials.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, according to Mega Millions.
