ATLANTA - The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $95 million.

The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $83 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball number. 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 each. None of those tickets were sold in Illinois. Also, 36 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: five, six, 51, 53, and 55. The Mega Ball number was 12.
