(CNN) We all make mistakes, but for a host of the Mega Millions lottery, it's a potentially costly one: Prize payments for some Mega Millions tickets have been temporarily suspended after host John Crow incorrectly read the Mega Ball number during Tuesday's lottery drawing. But as the gold Mega Ball, was selected, the number 9 -- with a line drawn under it -- could be seen on the ball. Crow called it as 6, as seen in a video posted on the Mega Millions YouTube channelThe video featured an embedded caption explaining the mishap. Tuesday's estimated Mega Millions annuitized jackpot was $86 million, and there was no winning ticket. But there are five other prizes for having the correct Mega Ball number.
