The jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery has grown to $138 million, the largest Mega Millions jackpot in a month.
None of the tickets sold for Friday's $117 million drawing matched all five lotto numbers and the Mega Ball. The next drawing will be Tuesday.
There were nine second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing: 1 from California, 3 from Michigan, 2 from New Jersey, 2 from New York, and 1 from Washington. Each ticket matched all five lotto numbers but not the Mega Ball number to win $250,000.
The California second prize winner will receive $318,010 because California does not have fixed prize amounts like the other Mega Millions states.
Also, 59 players matched four of the five lotto numbers, plus the Mega Ball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000, except in California, where those tickets are worth $9,636.
The winning numbers from Friday's drawing were: 4, 7, 19, 50, and 52. The Mega Ball number was 15.
The Texas Megaplier was 3.

This was my best draw yet. I won $10. match 2 + mega ball. sad when when my biggest win is 10. but, next winning amount is 138 million
my best too, hit 1 plus mega ball, I'm $3. richer. I've been playing the same number for the longest time, and in the last 6 drawing, all my numbers came up just not on the same ticket, including mega ball. Frustrating as all hell.

HAPPY SUNDAY..4/2/2006...."AT"
In that case....I think we should share the $$$$$$138,000,000,00......After all I would be happy w/$100,000.00 or anywhere in the general location.....I am not greedy.....lets share it, and we'll both be exceptionally deliriusssssssssssssssssss..............
Well all guess no new millionaire's this week
.. our pool won 40.00 in the PB Sat night and 10.00 in the mega I guess that it will pay for the pool's next drawing 
But I think that my luck might be changing!
I NEVER hit anything!!!!! And to BOOT on scratch off's I always waste my money and no winners And I scratched one yesterday that was a 50.00 hitter 
LOL So that was nice for a change! But good luck to everyone for Tues and Wed nights drawings!!
Sassy, I'm interested in buying a book of $10 GA scratch off tickets ( $200 Million Spectacular ). I saw where you said you had done this before .
Did you find that it was worth it or was it an exercise in futility ?
Not to mention that's a lot of graphite on the floor and carpal scratcher syndrome......( CSS )

it could hit 300 million........

DD,
When I scratched off 2 seperate books of the same tickets ( 200 Mill Spect ) I did get 95% of the money back, But nothing that brought me out over the top.... Now on the other hand .. the older woman that comes into the store by my house buys them by the book often. She has 3 times that I know of hit 1,000 and 500 2 times. So on that note I think that its safe to say that you will get majority of the money back ( But cant Guar of course) But I do it just because them hitters are out there some where and my logic is this..... what ya gonna do when you only by 20 of them and then turn around and the next ticket was a million hitter. So I would say as long as if you can afford to loose HALF of what you put in then go for it! Like I had said I did get most of my money back both times!!

Thanks..
I know what you mean. I am a dedicated scratcher and will buy certain tickets and scratch them in the store and try to keep on top of the particular roll of tickets as best I can while there.
I look at it like a slot machine. If I feed it and don't win, I have to completely leave the area so I will not know if the next person hits.....
I have made friends with one of the cashiers where I get my tickets ( I give her tips all the time when I hit decently), so she helps steer me in the right direction.

Hi Sassy....
I cannot remember if I said this before, but your Office Pool agreement is excellent and quite impressive.
