Mega Millions jackpot increases to $51 million

The jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $51 million.
The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $42 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers
and the Mega Ball number. The next drawing will be Tuesday night.
There were five second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing, matching five numbers to win $250,000 apiece. None of those
tickets were sold in Illinois. Another 28 players, including four from Illinois, matched four of the five lotto numbers,
plus the Mega Ball number, to win third prizes. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.
The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing are: 12, 22, 33, 43 and 44. The Mega Ball number was 15.
