A Mega Millions player in California won big by matching five numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing.

The ticket sold at Diablo Chevron in Danville matched all five numbers but missed the mega number.

While the owner of the lucky ticket won’t take home the $137 million jackpot, they can still cash in for a cool $810,362, according to the California Lottery website.

The numbers for Tuesday night’s drawing were 4, 8, 19, 31, 45 and a mega number 11.

Mega Millions tickets are sold for $2 each with drawings every Tuesday and Friday at 8 p.m.
