Ticket buyers in New Jersey and 11 other states might find longer lines for Tuesday night's multi-state Mega Millions lottery drawing.

The jackpot is estimated at $200 million.

A clerk at Delmontes News in Camden said people have been talking about the jackpot since it rolled over on Friday.

Eight tickets narrowly missed winning an estimated $172 million by matching the first five numbers, but missing the Mega Ball number. One of those tickets was sold in New Jersey.

Mega Millions is played in 12 states: California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

The winning numbers will be drawn Tuesday at 11 p.m. Eastern time.
