Mega Millions jackpot tops $100 million

The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions lottery grew to $101 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday night's game.

Eleven players -- two in Georgia -- matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday night -- 2, 9, 14, 37 and 42 -- but not the Mega Ball, which was 41. Those players won $250,000 each.

The top prize in Wednesday night's Powerball multi-state lottery is $46 million.
