NC Lottery posted a vague explanation of the delay https://nclottery.com/NewsBlogDetails/2020/12/19/Delay-in-Mega-Millions-results

Not sure how size of the next jackpot effects chances of winning either.

It definitely affects my chances of winning, because I wouldn't even have ticket if the jackpot didn't get bigger.

hopefully we'll get an explanation.

It looks like nobody who really knows is sharing the news with the common folk, but apparently Illinois had some kind of an issue. Besides not knowing whether or not they sold a jackpot winning ticket they didn't post the results for their own Friday game. I'm won... [ More ]

I did have a ticket, although not a winning one.

If there was a winner, I would still buy a ticket for the next drawing.

However, if there was no winner, my $3 (including Megaplier) buys me a bigger dream for the next drawing.

It's still pending as of 1:50 PM EST

Unless you have a ticket matching all five numbers and the bonus number, the size of the jackpot shouldn't matter. Not sure how size of the next jackpot effects chances of winning either.

Illinois still hasn't posted results from last night. That includes pick 3 4 and lucky lotto.

Possible cyber attack. Google Solarwinds and Sunburst for information about the latest computer security compromise.

I suspect at least one state was hit and they are having difficulty searching their database of purchased tickets with a comparison of the winning numbers.

After 12 hours, why is Mega still pending?

The winning MegaMillions numbers have been drawn over 12 hours ago.

Why does the Next Estimated Jackpot amount still say PENDING ?
