Tuesday's Mega Millions Jackpot was the largest Christmas Day jackpot ever, closing at $321 million.
And while no one won it all, Avenue News in Bristol sold a winning ticket that matched all five of the winning numbers. Just the Mega Ball of 6 was off. The ticket would have been worth $1 million, but it had the Megaplier selected, for a total of $3 million.
No one has come forward to claim the winnings from the ticket.
In Brooklyn, lottery officials say one Powerball jackpot ticket worth $298.3 million was sold Thursday.
