The jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $47 million.
The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $37 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers
and the Mega Ball number. The next drawing will be Tuesday night.
There were nine second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing, matching five numbers to win $250,000 apiece. One of those
tickets was sold in Illinois _ at a shop in Chicago's Union Station. Another 18 players, including two from 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: 19, 32, 33, 41 and 48. The Mega Ball number was 12.
