The jackpot in the mult-istate Mega Millions lottery grew to $172 million when no one hit Tuesday's jackpot.
None of the tickets sold for Tuesday's $150 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Friday.
There were eight second-prize winners from Tuesday night's drawing: 2 from Massachusetts, 2 from Michigan, 1 from New Jersey, 1 from Ohio, and 2 from Texas. Each ticket matched all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $250,000.
Also, 40 players matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.
The winning numbers from Tuesday's drawing were 1, 8, 27, 31, and 50. The Mega Ball number was 40.
The Texas Megaplier was 3.
Reverse the current jackpot.... make it $271 mill and that's when I predict it'll be hit.
hehe, I hope It will roll at least one more step to about 200Million ..Let me hope one more time !
I wish I could win something !
I don't know why there are many people got win while I am still a permanent loser ?
Another $20,000,000 increase only. Whats going on here. I thought for sure it would start increase more.

I would agree. The odds have gone so far out of wack, the numbers of players if going to have to grow (to double what it is now?) so that enough posibilities are covered. I would like to see it break the current record. That would great. WOuld be better if I broke the record - heheheh.
.............LISTEN....one of us really needs to win this.....this "kitty" is bursting at the seams..like our gasoline prices........hehheheheheee.......Everyone.....please have a great evening.......
hey, 926 is my birthday!!!

The reality of tougher odds (due to the recent changes to MM) has finally sunk in and lower participation (than expected) from the newly added State (California). Take a look at Ticket Sales by State for 09/06/2005 and you'll see what I mean. (For example: NJ - Population 8 Million - Ticket Sales $4 Million, CA - Population 35 Million - Ticket Sales $4 Million)
Do you feel Lucky? Play the Mega Million Lottery!

I think people are a little wiped out by gas prices - not going out or spending the casual dollar as easily as before, and also distracted and stressed by the hurricane and flood damage.
