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

Lottery officials said the winning ticket from Friday night's drawing - worth $40 million - was sold in Whitehall, Ohio.

In addition to the grand prize winner, four players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each.

Another 17 players matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number - good for third prizes of $10,000 each.

One California player matched all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number for second-place prizes, and two matched four of the five numbers for third-place awards. The prize amounts in California are different than what prize winners in the other Mega Ball participating states would receive.

The next drawing, worth $12 million, will be Tuesday.

The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: 16, 22, 23, 37 and 53. The Mega Ball number was 35.
