They just had on tonights news the guy from Georgia who came forth today to claim the ticket there.

Thank you to the lottery agent in New Jersey who was earnest in aiding all here who were anxious to know some of the results. It behooves some here to eat humble pie for the unkind words said about your authentic results. I for one am pleased that it was only two ticket claimants. Yet more pleased to be one of the 5.3 million folks who get to claim a prize! (Yipee won three dollars!)

Thanks SMD. Yup, I'm part of the lotto conspiracy to keep the good folk down. LOL. Newsflash for everyone, because of Cali and there machine problems, no winning megamillions tickets whether for $2 or the JP can be cashed in. The function is currently suppressed. I feel for the guys and gals who'll be going through there tickets 1 by 1, especially that one guy who wanted me to check 257 plays.

Please let it be my store, please, please, please.

It's not a fake, and honestly, who would take the time to fake the results ticket

From what I have seen via AP Reports, the Ohio Lottery's computer went down at about 10:25 last night, and they won;t be able to get it up until today... don't know if this is related to why there is no conformation as of yet, but thought I would chime in on why I thought it isn't up yet.

I am leaving for work and just checked my numbers. I know I didn't win, but there is no official confirmation who or how many people have won the jackpot. It never takes this long, but I'm so eager to see where the winner came from. If they had these results so early, what's taking so long? They have to be done sorting through tickets by now.

The picture seems pretty conclusive. Hope the winning ticket was from your store

Next time JMaxwell. Then again, I just thought about this, the results could be wrong ? Dunno, until it's official.

Aww JerseyDevil, I knew I hadn't won the JP but I was hoping no one else had either...

Congrats to the winner(s

Those are the New Jersey winners only listed on that ticket. You can get the same kind at your lottery retailer for your own states winners in the same format. A is for annuity and C is for cash value. In NJ, there was one winner and they took the cash value. There could be winners in other states though.

Well I spent ten dollars had three of the main numbers but all different games of course. I did however have the mega ball in one of the games so I did when two dollars. However I am still out 8 thought. Well at least I got something. lol

I just checked the Illinois lottery site, and it has 3 winners of $250000 (5 BALLS, no mega), and NO NO NO jackpot winner. In my experience, ALL winners of all states are indicated, but addresses of locations sold are only shown for Illinois winners. Also, by this picture, it looks like the top line shows NO winners; the notation next to the 5/5 rows I don't know how to interpret. Since I got nothin' for my $19, I hope a smart, worthy person(s) DID win, or nobody, so I can go for the $470... [ More ]

Many MM states (including NJ) require that you select Annuity or Cash at the time of purchase.

What I don't understand is if they had these results at 11:30 PM, why wait? Or are these the NJ only results, and maybe they are still doing the search for more winners in other states.

I dont know what exactly that photo proves...

I will be very surprised if nobody did win the Jackpot...

But with no news reports out as of yet .. you gotta wonder..

I am a lotto retailer in NJ. I printed out the results for the megamillions at around 11:30 pm and can confirm that one person did indeed win the jackpot in a lump sum cash payment of 221 million.

I am not however sure of the location, we'll get that tomorrow.

Jack

Edit:

Here's a picture worth a thousand words that I'm willing to trade for anyone holding the ticket worth 221 million. Guy can dream, can't he ?

I didn't even hit a mega ball and on one of the tickets I had two kicker numbers but said No .

I hope somebody hits; I don't want to play this game any more.

Yolanda Vega announced that the jackpot would be $470 million if it rolled.

What could the prize get to if No One matched all six numbers?

I came up with zip this try. Only I need some more money, cause I am out of work, and have a graduating high school student that wants to attend U.I. C. for a four year degree. I am looking for work everyday.

A lottery payday would help out tremendously.

Good hit RJOh. I had 48 tickets with one MB. Think that is $2. My tickets are also from OH so I'm hoping the winner coming on Friday will be a Buckeye. Also the numbers were middling high which wipes out the BD crowd

RJOh — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 04:09:38 GMT

If it rolls I will be spending all $150 I won tonight with a match 4+0 on tickets for Friday. I had $60 worth of tickets for tonight's drawing.
