The jackpot for Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot climbed to $162 million after no players matched all six numbers drawn in Friday night's game.

Seven players, one in Georgia, matched the first five numbers drawn Friday night -- 10, 20, 30, 44 and 49, but missed the Mega Ball of 24. Those players won $250,000 each.

The jackpot for the multi-state lottery has been growing since Nov. 11, when winning tickets were sold in California and New Jersey.

Mega Millions is also played in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington state.
