Skyrocketing sales pushed the Mega Millions jackpot for Friday to $113 million, lottery officials said.

The cash option on this prize is more than $70 million.

The jackpot jumped $19 million from $94 million when no one hit the jackpot in Tuesday's drawing of the multi-state game. The winning numbers were 7-34-49-54-55. The Mega ball was 34.

The Massachusetts State Lottery's Mega Millions sales for Friday's drawing will be more than $1.3 million, with 1,200 tickets-per-minute being sold at peak periods.

Mega Millions is played in California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
