The grand prize in the Mega Millions multistate lottery game keeps climbing and will be up to an estimated $145 million for
the next drawing on Friday.
The amount was rolled over because no player matched all the winning numbers to win the $122 million jackpot Tuesday night.
Although there was no grand prize winner, seven tickets were worth second prizes of $250,000 each, none of them sold in Texas.
Another 47 players, including two who bought tickets in Texas, won third prizes of $10,000 each.
The winning numbers from Tuesday were: 9, 33, 51, 53 and 56. The Mega Ball number was 39.
