It is the largest Mega Millions jackpot in more than a year. On February 22, 2008, one person from Georgia won a $270 million Mega Millions jackpot. The rollover occurred because no player matched all the winning numbers from Friday night's $171 million drawing. The next Mega Millions drawing will be Tuesday night. The last time the Mega Millions jackpot was more than $200 million was on December 12, 2008, when one winning ticket holder from Ohio matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win $207 million. Although there was no grand prize winner, 18 players won second prizes of $250,000 apiece: 1 from Georgia, 2 from Illinois, 2 from Maryland, 2 from Massachusetts, 2 from New Jersey, 5 from New York, 1 from Ohio, 2 from Texas, and 1 from Virginia. The Illinois players bought their tickets — both Quick Picks — at service stations in the Chicago suburbs of Orland Park and Geneva. Another 77 players won third prizes of $10,000 apiece, except for ten third-prize winners in California, who will collect $12,003 because California pays out pari-mutuel. The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: 24, 37, 44, 50, and 56. The Mega Ball number was 35. The Texas Megaplier was 4. Lottery Post Staff We'd love to see your comments here!

You're never going to win if you think you don't have a chance. It's all about the Law of Attraction. | | |

people you know what to do, open up your pockets, and start buying your quick picks... Scientists, geniuses & nerds work on stuffs to purify salt water and on stuffs to make any hair straight.
The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

Good luck to all of you who are playing! I'm not in for Mega Millions, but I have a ticket for Powerball. "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

I already bought tickets for Powerball since I live in a Powerball state (Idaho). I am not close enough to the Washington border to buy Mega Millions tickets, so I am out of that drawing.
