Mega Million Lottery Pool - Game 27

It is better to have less if it is with peace of mind than to have abundant wealth but with a tormented spirit.

ONE MEGA MILLIONS TICKET WINS ESTIMATED $15 MILLION JACKPOT; Ticket Sold In New Jersey Matches All Six Numbers To Win

One ticket matched all six Mega Millions numbers in the Tuesday, September 26, 2006 drawing, and now players are checking their tickets to see who won the estimated $15 million jackpot. The jackpot-winning ticket, which was purchased in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, matched the numbers 3-6-38-42-45 and the Mega Ball number 30.

But that certainly wasn't the only winner in Tuesday's drawing. A total of 352,317 tickets won Mega Millions prizes. Here is the complete breakdown of prizes:

1 ticket matched all 6 numbers for the JACKPOT!
4 tickets matched 5 numbers for $250,000
22 tickets matched 4 numbers + the Mega Ball for $10,000
812 tickets matched 4 numbers for $150
957 tickets matched 3 numbers + the Mega Ball for $150
16,422 tickets matched 2 numbers + the Mega Ball for $10
43,843 tickets matched 3 numbers for $7
100,633 tickets matched 1 number + the Mega Ball for $3
189,623 tickets matched the Mega Ball for $2

Four tickets came within just one number of winning it all. Each of them won $250,000 by matching the first five numbers and only missing the Mega Ball number. Those tickets were purchased in Illinois (1), New   Jersey (2) and New York (1).

The jackpot for the Friday, September 29, 2006 Mega Millions drawing is $12 million.

No one won the Jack Pot of $12 Million last night, so the Jack Pot rose.

The next drawing is on Tuesday, October 3^rd, 2006 is worth $15 Million again! The estimated cash value of this jackpot is $8,807,985

Well, we still keep winning.

2	$275,249.52

Your game has been extended to Tuesday, October 17^th, 2006.  And you still have $9.00 in your bank, so it could be extended again.

Now I have a new out of state member who is mailing me money this week.  I may have to go ahead and start Game 28 on October 6^th, 2006 as planned.  Now, if he or she doesn't mind, I may wait until after this game ends to start the next game, in hopes the Jack Pot will be larger.

To be on the safe side you should pay me this week, if you want to play in the next game.
