Glad she was doing her homework before claiming and that the ticket wasn't lost like others had mentioned on a difference thread.

American Indian,

The writing is on the wall...quick pick is the way to go. Rarely do I pick my own #'s; all of my small winnings over the years have been QP.

Congratulations to her. If the Mega Ball wasn't 7, then the Mega Millions Jackpot would've been $20 million dollars. Did she take the cash option? This is the first Mega Millions Jackpot winning tickets that were a California Super Lotto Plus pick.

I think my problem is I want it too much....

I clearly should just forget about it, putting my advance draw ticket away in a cool dark place and get on with my life. Maybe then I will be lucky enough to be pleasantly surprised

Winning numbers for the July 22 Mega Millions drawing were 8, 24, 25, 26, and 30, with Mega Ball number 7.

Ford played using the Quik Pik option and was in disbelief when she saw the winning numbers drawn on television.
