ATLANTA - The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery drawing grew to $40 million Wednesday.

None of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $31 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Friday.

There were two 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, 20 players, including one in Illinois, 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: 10, 12, 22, 44 and 48. The Mega Ball number was 16.
