Like the minum jackpot of 12M is chump change now ...matters to me not the size of jackpot. I used to feel like awww hell this is never going to happen after the super size jackpot is reset and just forget about it. I'm not looking at that way anymore, every drawing gives me the chance as long as I have a ticket, QP or set number combination of having that lucky random ticket being printed and handed to me and I'll never know when that will happen. I never realized playing only these super size... [ More ]

Where do you get this information?

I read on the mega millions site that one ticket was sold in San Gabriel, California and the other in Bronx, New York.

But how did you find out about the second place tickets? Please let me know where you looked.

Thanks

LottoL — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 05:52:29 GMT

Does the California winner get an annuity or an IOU

Well ambelamba if no one in Cali wins the SLP jackpot the next few drawings then that puppy is going to start to skyrocket.

I remember a Powerball official once said that the reason they slow the growth of record jackpots is for marketing purposes. If they set a record jackpot of say, $700 million, they miss chances to set records at $400 million, $500 million, etc. However, what they DIDN'T consider was that if they don't take the record jackpots away from themselves, Mega Millions will, which is what is going to happen if the jackpot rolls tonight.

barbos — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:43:54 GMT

I got 2+1 hehe

I guess even in California it should give me $10 cash

That is instead of 210 millions

Comment #25

thefirstbite — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:42:29 GMT

congrats kikie, great win!!

I also only got 2+0. but I'll certainly drive to Jersey for tix again if it rolls

Comment #24

CowboysFan — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:36:03 GMT

Well the best I did was 2+0. Not good enough.

Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll.

Congratulations Kikie!!!!!

I didn't even get one number.

Comment #22

kikie — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:18:40 GMT

Omg! I match 4 numbers in 25 tickets. I was smart to play the same number for 25 times. My numbers were 01-12-17-31-54 and 21

Comment #18

kikie — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:24:24 GMT

HaveABall — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:01:35 GMT

Okay Illinois tax advisors let your voices be heard now! Which makes SOUND tax withdrawl sense ... if the 1 ticket holding, individual winner of tonight's MM jackpot decides to give 5% of cash lump-sum to 1 charity (tax exempt status), should that ticket holder make the charity a 5% interest holder on the claim form, OR simply donate 5% after entire after-tax sum is electronically transferred to winner's account? The proper order has stummped me for a couple of years

barbos — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:27:28 GMT

That's the most conservative estimate possible - apparently they are afraid of winner's lawsuits. It will surely pass 500M barrier - guaranteed if it rolls tonight, 4 days until tuesday it will be the biggest news everywhere.

i also want a new record to rub it in the face;s of my pb chairman, the tn RNG whore queen

then maybe pb states can understand, making the odds biger then MM, yet having less players then MM states

, is not the way to make jackpot records happen

they will also learn, that a Jackpot cap is insane idea sense

if MM get over 400M+ to almust half a billion jackpot, their sales for that 1 draw will be biger then many months of sales alone, caps are a dumb idea FOR the states... [ More ]

$333 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased

Lottery Post — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:22:37 GMT

Rare mid-week increase spurred by massive sales

Mega Millions lottery players across the United States are pulling out the stops for tonights drawing, which now stands as the largest Mega Millions grand prize in 2 years.

Because of the frantic ticket sales rate, lottery officials revised the jackpot earlier today to a staggering $333 million, with a lump-sum cash option of $210.4 million.

It is the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot of all time or third-largest, if you count the $365
