The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery drawing grew to $22 million Wednesday.

None of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $14 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Friday.

There were four second-prize winners from Tuesday night's drawing, matching all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $250,000 each. Also, 14 players matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.

The winning numbers from Tuesday's drawing were: 9, 15, 31, 42 and 45. The Mega Ball number was 41.

New Jersey normally is a state that sells Mega Millions tickets. However, due to the shutdowns resulting from the budget battle in Trenton, lottery ticket sales have been suspended in the Garden State. The other states that sell Mega Millions tickets are: California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, or Washington.
