  Interesting, I never recall this happening before.  Almost an hour later and still no numbers.  I remember this happening with Powerball once but not Mega Millions.  It will be interesting to see what actually happened.

  Its happened more than once with Powerball as I've been watching their drawings every time for the last 5 years.    They always announce there is a problem during the live broadcast.   Did anyone here see the live broadcast tonight for Megamillions?
