The 14th consecutive Mega Millions drawing without a winner has the multi-state lottery game getting an early jump on its own March Madness.

There was no winner in the drawing of Tuesday March 13, so the Mega Millions jackpot for Friday will rise to an estimated $200 million. The cash value option will be $145.4 million.

Lottery Post reported that nine players matched the first five numbers without having the Mega Ball to win $250,000, one of them coming from New Jersey.

The winning numbers on Tuesday March 13, 2012 were as follows: 2, 8, 30, 36, 48 and Mega Ball 31.
