I apologize for getting a bit behind in posting the simulation results.

The Mega Millions numbers for March 20 were 1-4-6-11-14, Mega Ball 30. Nobody won the $241 million jackpot; as expected, neither did we. There were an amazing 68 second-prize winners, 21 of them from California. Our simulated 175,000 lines did not land a second prize, but for the first time since we started doing this, we did win a third prize (two, in fact) by matching 4 white balls and the Mega Ball.

Enough talk, here's the summary:

The Powerball numbers for March 21 were 32-43-53-55-56 with a Powerball of 6. There was one winner of the $70 million jackpot and one second-prize winner. We were not so lucky.
