The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions lottery climbed to $65 million after no players  matched all six numbers in Tuesday night's game, while the top prize for Wednesday's Powerball multi-state lottery stands at $131 million.

One Georgia Lottery player matched the first five Mega Millions numbers drawn Tuesday -- 1, 16, 24, 32 and 48 -- but not the Mega Ball, which was 2. That player won $250,000.

Another Georgia player matched the four of the first five numbers along with the Mega Ball and won $10,000.
