By Mike Morris
May 19, 2010The jackpot for Friday night's Mega Millions drawing rolled over to $54 million after no players matched all six numbers in Tuesday's game.
Eight tickets, two sold in Georgia, matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday night -- 11, 13, 19, 37 and 40 -- but missed the Mega Ball of 26. Those players each won $250,000.
The estimated jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing is $145 million, or $71.2 million if the winner chooses the cash option.
