My brother in laws urged everybody in the family to buy Mega Millions. Then, I thought the same story would go on in many families statewide.

This will be the last rolling for this jackpot.

It's funny cause there was just an article that said people aren't playing as much as they used to. I still insist that more people play when jackpots are higher, we all know that there are slim odds, but when the jackpot is steep, what's a few bucks? People spend over $5 a day on cigarettes, so that's pretty much how I justify spending $10 on large lotto drawings. Someone's gotta win right

Sure glad my home state of Massachusetts has Season tickets, my brother got mine for Mega Millions since KY does not have Mega Millions. We're stuck with Powerball! May still have to drive to Ohio if it gets way up there though

I've made the drive to Virginia to get my Mega Millions ticket. I also played a $10 scratch off while there and won $20. I like their scratch offs much more than NC.

The results for each individual drawing can vary from what probability suggests, but the number of winners is related to the number of tickets that are sold. We should only expect an average number of winners if ticket sales for that drawing are also average. For the last draw the estimated annuity went from 150 to 177 million which would mean sales of about 52 million tickets, which is a lot higher than usual. The odds against matching 5+0 are about 4 million to 1, so 52 million tickets woul... [ More ]

Let the good times Roll! How exciting to see this game increase !

May I ask if the second tier prize has had more then 17 winners on that level? That seems awefully high. If I recall it averages around 7 or 8 . Just the thought of hitting the second tier level is happiness ! I was very shocked to see that Lil Ole Maryland actually got a second tier level winner. THere is hope for that state and I want to be the one to bring the BIG JACKPOT home to them

I had a $3 winner from last night (1+1.) I've already played $7 for Tuesday, and bought a $2 ticket as a tip for a waitress I have a crush on (her boyfriend died last year.) Later today I will buy $10 for my trustee, whose birthday is the night of the drawing.

Needless to say I like to buy MM tickets as gifts (always cash value, since NY still requires the choice to be made when you play.) I never buy NY Blotto tickets for others.

Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased to $216 million

Lottery Post — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 12:43:20 GMT

The jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery drawing has grown to $216 million, the largest Mega Millions jackpot in more than 10 months.

The rollover occurred because none of the tickets sold for Friday night's $177 million drawing matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball number. The next drawing will be Tuesday night.

There were 17 second-prize winners from Friday night's drawing: 3 from California, 1 from Georgia, 2 from Illinois, 1 from Maryland, 2 from Michigan, 5 from New... [ More ]
