Mega Millions jumps to $43 million; Powerball jackpot at $54 mil

The jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing climbed to $43 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday night's game.

Four lottery tickets were sold in New York, New Jersey and Wisconsin matching the first five numbers drawn Tuesday night -- 8, 18, 45, 47 and 50, but not the Mega Ball, which was 36. Those tickets are worth $250,000 each.

The jackpot for tonight's Powerball multistate lottery is $54 million.
