Mega Millions ticket holders hoping for a Christmas lottery miracle will have to try again.
The game's Friday night drawing failed to produce a jackpot winner, boosting the pot Saturday to nearly $200 million.
The winning numbers were 15, 16, 27, 40 and 52, with a Mega Ball of 16. Eleven ticket holders won $250,000 for matching the five main numbers but not the Mega Ball.
The highest Mega Millions jackpot ever was $390 million split by two winners in 2007. The highest single winner hit a $315 million jackpot in 2005.
The game is available in 41 states and the District of Columbia.
The next drawing will be Dec. 28.
