The top prize for Friday’s Mega Millions lottery climbed to $126 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing.

Those numbers were 21, 30, 34, 39 and 49, and the Mega Ball was 43.

Mega Millions players in California, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee matched the first five numbers and won $250,000 each.

The jackpot for Wednesday night’s Powerball multi-state lottery is $165 million.
