Texans are caught up in Mega Millions fever as the jackpot reaches $1.22 billion, with players like Jake Utterback religiously sticking to their lucky numbers.

A Mega Millions ticket sold in Texas won $1 million, lottery officials said. The ticket matched five winning numbers, but not the Mega Ball, in the drawing Friday, Dec. 27, the national Mega Millions site said. A California player hit the $1.2 billion grand prize in the drawing.

“We know that many people will likely receive tickets to Friday’s drawing as holiday gifts, and what a gift that would turn out to be if you ended up with a ticket worth a $1.15 billion jackpot,” Joshua Johnston, lead director for the Mega Millions Consortium, said in a news release before the jackpot rose again to $1.22 billion.
