A Michigan Lottery player came very close to winning Friday's Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $1.28 billion.

One ticket sold online in Michigan matched all five white balls drawn — 13-36-45-57-67, but didn't match the Mega Ball — 14, according to the Mega Millions website. The ticket is now worth $1 million and didn't have the Megaplier option, which was 2x.

Seventeen Michigan players also won $10,000 prizes, matching four white balls and the Mega Ball
