Mega Millions jackpot now $31 million

[November 03, 2008]  ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) -- There has been another rollover in the jackpot for the Mega Millions multistate lottery -- to $31 million.

The rollover occurred because no player matched all the winning numbers from Friday night's $23 million drawing.

The next Mega Millions drawing will be Tuesday night.

Although there was no grand prize winner, two players won second prizes of $250,000 apiece. Neither of those tickets were sold in Illinois. Another 22 players, none of whom bought their tickets in Illinois, won third prizes of $10,000 apiece.

The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: two, seven, 17, 29, and 47. The Mega Ball number was 40.
