The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing climbed to $151 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday's game.
One ticket sold in Georgia, along with other tickets sold in California, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Washington state, matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday night -- 3, 17, 19, 41 and 55 -- but not the Mega Ball, which was 24. Those players each won $250,000.
The Mega Millions jackpot has been rolling over since Feb. 1, when players in Indiana and Michigan split a $45 million top prize.
The jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball multi-state lottery is $40 million.
