WASHINGTON — If you forgot to buy a ticket for Friday’s Mega Millions drawing, there is good news: No one else won so you have another chance on Tuesday.

The new estimated jackpot is already up to $493 million, that would make it the fifth largest Mega Millions jackpot and more ticket sales could make it even bigger.

It is also the third jackpot of at least $400 million this year.

Friday night’s winning numbers were 1, 14, 30, 44 and 62, plus the gold Mega Ball 1.

While no one won the jackpot, two tickets did wind up matching the five white balls to win $1 million each.

HAIKOU, China (AP) — China said on Sunday it was postponing its planned ambitious Chang’e-7 lunar mission, which was set to carry out explorations including searching for water ice on the moon. The Chang’e-7 spacecraft was originally set to lift off in the coming days from the Wenchang Space Launch Site on China’s southern Hainan island. The mission does not meet the launch conditions, said the China Manned Space Agency in a brief statement, and “cannot take place during the planned window this year.” The decision was made following a “comprehensive assessment,” the agency added, and was based on the principles of “prudence, reliability and absolute mission success.” It did not further elaborate on the reasons behind the decision.
