this is Washington's fourth mega millions jackpot winner

I thought we've only had two, this new one, and the guy who picked his own numbers back in 2011.

Bagent, I did the same exact thing, I was sure my luck had finally changed lol. Unfortunately I got zero numbers, what a letdown......back to my dreary life, but it sure was fun planning my number one thing to do, my second thing to do and buying my first class tickets outta here. I too, sure hope it wont take years to get another major win. Good luck to us

Congrats to Mr. Burkett. When I saw that the winner was in Washington, I got excited as I like in Washington. But sadly when I checked my tickets all I had was a single number on all 5 lines. :(

Again, Congrats to the winner and hopefully it won't be another 5 years before the next Washington win.

Jim Carolyn McCullar of Emphrata, Washington were the co-winners of the $380 million dollar jackpot back in January 2011. They shared it with Holly Lahti of Idaho. Jim Carolyn set a good example of making their win last for generations of their family. They used Trusts.

I would prefer an electric blue Tesla. Congratulations to this family
