ATLANTA -- A single player has won the $163 million grand prize from the latest Mega Millions lotto drawing.

Lottery officials said the winning ticket from Friday night's drawing was sold in Bainbridge, Ga.

In addition to the grand prize winner, 13 players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each. One of those tickets was sold in Illinois -- at a service station in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.

Another 58 players, including six from Illinois, matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number -- good for third prizes of $10,000 each.

The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: six, 26, 33, 39 and 55. The Mega Ball number was one.

The next drawing is Tuesday with a jackpot of $12 million.
