Many MM states (including NJ) require that you select Annuity or Cash at the time of purchase. What I don't understand is if they had these results at 11:30 PM, why wait? Or are these the NJ only results, and maybe they are still doing the search for more winners in other states.

I am a lotto retailer in NJ. I printed out the results for the megamillions at around 11:30 pm and can confirm that one person did indeed win the jackpot in a lump sum cash payment of 221 million. I am not however sure of the location, we'll get that tomorrow. Jack Edit: Here's a picture worth a thousand words that I'm willing to trade for anyone holding the ticket worth 221 million. Guy can dream, can't he ? <invalid image removed> I just checked the Illinois lottery site, and it has 3 winners of $250000 (5 BALLS, no mega), and NO NO NO jackpot winner. In my experience, ALL winners of all states are indicated, but addresses of locations sold are only shown for Illinois winners. Also, by this picture, it looks like the top line shows NO winners; the notation next to the "5/5" rows I don't know how to interpret. Since I got nothin' for my $19, I hope a smart, worthy person(s) DID win, or nobody, so I can go for the $470 (+) on Friday! Congrats on all who lived through the suspense, either way!

Those are the New Jersey winners only listed on that ticket. You can get the same kind at your lottery retailer for your own states winners in the same format. A is for annuity and C is for cash value. In NJ, there was one winner and they took the cash value. There could be winners in other states though.

Next time JMaxwell. Then again, I just thought about this, the results could be wrong ? Dunno, until it's official.

I know I didn't win, but there is no official confirmation who or how many people have won the jackpot. It never takes this long, but I'm so eager to see where the winner came from. If they had these results so early, what's taking so long? They have to be done sorting through tickets by now.

From what I have seen via AP Reports, the Ohio Lottery's computer went down at about 10:25 last night, and they won;t be able to get it up until today... don't know if this is related to why there is no conformation as of yet, but thought I would chime in on why I thought it isn't up yet.
