ATLANTA -- The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $265 million.
The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $220 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers
and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Tuesday night.
There were 20 second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing, matching all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number
to win $250,000 apiece. None of those tickets were sold in Illinois. Also, 116 players matched four of the five lotto numbers,
plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000, and six of them were sold in Illinois.
The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: eight, ten, 18, 29 and 33. The Mega Ball number was ten.
