Mega Millions: No Winner, Jackpot Now $290 Million

UNDATED (AP) -- There were many ways to ring in the New Year but nobody did it by getting filthy rich from the Mega Millions lottery New year's Eve.

Mega Millions is played in 41 states and the District of Columbia.

Friday night's numbers were:  10-12-13-35-56, Mega Ball: 9
