The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions lottery jumped to a whopping $201 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday night's game.

There were also no $250,000 tickets sold in Georgia that matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday -- 10, 11, 12, 28 and 43 -- but not the Mega Ball, which was 45.

The jackpot has been climbing since Feb. 1, when players in Indiana and Michigan split a $45 million top prize.

The top prize for Wednesday night's Powerball multi-state lottery is $67 million.
