The numbers in the Tuesday evening multi-state Mega Millions draw were 17, 18, 24, 35, 39 and the Mega number was 18.

The estimated jackpot was $40 million. If no tickets were sold with all six numbers, the jackpot for the next drawing, scheduled for Friday, will rise to $52 million, a California Lottery official said.

   The drawing was the fourth since the last time a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The Mega Millions game was played in 41 states and the District of Columbia.
