Time to Buy a Lottery Ticket

For all you occasional lottery players who don't drop your dollar on the counter until the jackpot gets over $100 million -- it's once again time to buy a lottery ticket.

The jackpot in the multistate Mega Millions lottery game is now worth $109 million.

The grand prize amount rolled over after no player matched all the winning numbers in Tuesday night's $92 million drawing.

The next drawing is Friday.

Though there was no big winner on Tuesday, five players won second prizes of $250,000 apiece. None were in Texas. Twenty-six tickets matched enough numbers to win $10,000 third prizes, but none were sold in Texas.

The winning numbers from Tuesday night's drawing were: 4, 11, 22, 48 and 50. The Mega Ball number was 42.
