The Mega Millions jackpot has rolled over again, climbing closer to record territory with a jackpot for Friday night estimated at $304 million.
Two tickets sold in Georgia matched the first five numbers drawn Tuesday night -- 1, 14, 35, 50 and 53, -- but not the "Mega Ball," which was 43. Those players, along with 24 players in other states, won $250,000 each.
The record advertised jackpot for a Mega Millions drawing was $390 million in March 2007. That huge payout was split between Eddie Nabors, a truck driver from northwest Georgia, and a New Jersey couple, Elaine and Harold Messner. Nabors and the Messners both chose the cash option and received $116 million before taxes.
The jackpot for tonight's Powerball multi-state lottery is $101 million.
