ATLANTA - The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $68 million.

The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $56 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Tuesday night.

There were three second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing, matching all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $250,000 apiece. One of those tickets was sold in Illinois - at a tobacco store in South Elgin. Also, 38 players, including two from Illinois, matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.

The winning numbers from Friday's drawing were: eight, 11, 23, 48, and 52. The Mega Ball number was five.
