Buoyed by the addition of Texas to the Mega Millions states, the jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery drawing grew to $44 million Wednesday.
None of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $33 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Friday.
There were five second-prize winners from Tuesday night's drawing. Each of the five matched the five lotto numbers but did not match the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $175,000.
Twenty-two players, including two from Michigan, matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $5,000.
The winning numbers from Friday's drawing were: 10, 13, 24, 34, and 49. The Mega Ball number was 4.
