 The grand prize in the Mega Millions multistate lottery has grown to $125 million.
 
 The rollover occurred because no player matched all the winning numbers from Friday night's $105 million drawing.
 
 The next Mega Millions drawing will be Tuesday night.
 
 Although there was no grand prize winner, nine players won second prizes of $250,000 apiece. None of those tickets were sold
in Illinois. Additionally, 49 players, including seven who bought their tickets in Illinois, won third prizes of $10,000
apiece.
 
 The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: 17, 29, 36, 53, and 55. The Mega Ball number was 26.
