It may not be $1.55 billion, but, heck, $82 million isn’t bad for a jackpot.

A single ticket sold at the Spring Valley Market in Victorville, California, won the state’s SuperLotto Plus drawing Saturday night.

The winning numbers were 17, 19, 23, 31, 33 and Superball 14.

The odds of winning a SuperLotto Plus jackpot are about 1 in 41.4 million, according to the website. The Mega Millions odds are about 1 in 302 million.

Nobody has won the Mega Millions jackpot since mid-April, 31 consecutive drawings, leaving the Tuesday night drawing worth an estimated $1.55 billion, the fourth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S.history.
