ATLANTA - The jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery drawing has increased to $138 million.

None of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $115 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Friday, July 12.

There were 15 second-prize winners from Tuesday night's drawing. Those tickets, which matched the five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball, are worth $175,000 each.

Forty-nine players, including two with tickets bought in Michigan, matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $5,000.

The winning numbers from Tuesday's drawing were: 26, 29, 31, 44, and 48 (twenty-six, twenty-nine, thirty-one, forty-four, forty-eight). The Mega Ball number was 40 (forty).
