    A Mega Millions ticket sold in Oklahoma won $3 million and narrowly missed the $31 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

    The ticket matched all five winning numbers and the Megaplier, but not the Mega Ball, in the drawing Tuesday, Sept. 17, the national Mega Millions site said.

    Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $47 million , with a cash option of approximately $23.9 million, for the next drawing Friday, Sept. 20.

    The winning numbers were 14, 31, 48, 57 and 64, with a Mega Ball of 9, the Oklahoma Lottery said The Megaplier was 3.

    More than 430,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $30,000 in the drawing, the lottery said.

    The Mega Millions jackpot has gone unclaimed since Sept. 10, when a Texas player hit the $810 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
