No players matched all six numbers in Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing, pushing the jackpot for Friday night's game to $44 million.

Meanwhile, the top prize for tonight's Powerball multi-state lottery is $218 million.

One ticket sold in Georgia matched the first five numbers in the Mega Millions drawing -- 1, 19, 20, 31 and 36 -- but not the Mega Ball, which was 9. That player, whose name has not been released, won $250,000, as did players in California, North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee and Virginia.
