No Mega Millions winner; Friday jackpot increases to $508M

A lottery official says no jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing.

Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty tells The Associated Press that means the jackpot for the next drawing on Friday will be an estimated $508 million.

Tuesday's was worth an estimated $454 million. It marks the 34th time the jackpot has rolled over without a winner. The previous record was 22 rolls.

With slightly better odds than the Powerball game, it's rare that nearly four months passes without someone winning a Mega Millions jackpot.
