ATLANTA - The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $70 million.
The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $60 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers
and the Mega Ball number. The next drawing will be Tuesday night.
There were three second-prize winners - none with tickets bought in Illinois - from Friday night's drawing, matching all
five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $250,000 apiece. Also, 22 players - including one with a ticket sold
in Illinois - matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.
The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: 17, 24, 35, 46 and 54. The Mega Ball number was 33.
