The jackpot for tonight’s Mega Millions drawing is $206 million with a cash option of $151.9 million. No ticket sold contained all the winning numbers (3-5-8-18-29; Mega Ball 14) in Friday’s drawing. Players have failed to snag the top winnings from the 43-state lottery since Nov. 1, when Charles Hairston of Paso Robles, Calif., won $78 million. The drawing will be held at 11 p.m. Though no tickets sold matched all the winning numbers in Friday’s $173 million Mega Millions jackpot, 31 tickets matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball.Three of those tickets were sold in New Jersey, according to the Mega Millions website.
