None of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $66 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Friday. There were three second-prize winners from Tuesday night's drawing: 1 from Illinois, 1 from New Jersey and 1 from New York. Each ticket matched all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $175,000. Also, 23 players matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $5,000. The winning numbers from Tuesday's drawing were 24, 32, 42, 49, and 50. The Mega Ball number was three. The Texas Megaplier was 3.

I'd say about 2 more draws to 100 million about 6 more draws to 200 mill, if no one gets it it should be at 400 mill by Christmas! HOHOHO "Everybody has to believe in something...I believe I'll have another beer!" = W.C.Fields | | |

I was guessing about 289 after the first week of december, but you might be right, anyway, it's all good in the end! "Everybody has to believe in something...I believe I'll have another beer!" = W.C.Fields | | |

So if you win the second prize would you still see a lawyer ? or take chances going without one? | | |

No lawyer for second prize. The prize will be only around $100,000 after taxes. You dont need to see a lawyer for that. | | |

Well Megaplier not an option here but was curious as to what some thought not that I really would expect to even think that I would hit even the second prize. Not even sure as to why I play except for that silly dream of "maybe"  | | |

Hey there fellow Mega Millions losers lol. I say that in all friendliness cos of course i am a loser too (for now hehe). Anyway i doubt the jackpot will grow over $200 mill. Btw how much do you guys play per draw, especially when the JP is over $50 mill? I wait till the JP grows to $50 mill or more, then i play up to $5. I'm in NY. Peace & hair grease =) | | |
