Congratulation to the Illinois winner. Can't wait to find out if it one person or a group.

I started to mock that video you posted, but was too depressed when I realized that I wasted my time watching it and that it was 8 precious minutes out of my life I'd never get back.

pickone4m3,

re: 1 2 3 4 5 1

Who actually plays those numbers? Thousands.

OldSchoolPa,

I was thinking it had to be a Hispanic, too - from the name of the retailer from the MM website:

The winner, who has yet to come forward, purchased their winning ticket at Super Mercado Imelda, 13036 South Western Avenue and matched all six numbers - 02 - 09 - 11 - 22 - 23 - (12) - to win the $260,000,000 jackpot in the Tuesday, June 2 Mega Millions drawing. The retailer will recei... [ More ]

Hope it's not one of those guys who don't check their tickets.

Yah for a win for Illinois, but the winner is likely another Hispanic person. Before there is an uproar of racism here, it should be noted that the store where the winning ticket was purchased is a Hispanic run store in an area where a lot of Hispanic people reside.

If the winning ticket had been purchased in Glencoe, I would have said that one of those really rich families have won more money that they perhaps don't need like a middle or lower income resident needs. Not being racist. Just sp... [ More ]

I thought the same thing.

pickone4me — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 15:42:05 GMT

No one has even spoken a word about that. On another note, I thought mocking others wasn't allowed here. Guess that only applies to certain people here.

It's fixed Illinois always wins LOL

At least it is one ticket ........... I hope it is one person ..........

Many thousands of players play those numbers religiously because they have a much higher probability of winning than the other numbers because they are birthday numbers and very extreme low numbers.

jjtheprince — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 12:47:06 GMT

That's why it would be hilarious to see a 75 number matrix ranging from 32 - 107 LOL

Soon as I seen the Birthday numbers, I knew it was probably gone.

Congrats to the Lucky winner.

You gotta be kidding, who actually plays those numbers

pickone4me — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 12:31:50 GMT

That is a very odd pick of numbers, if you have an open mind, Go check out this video

jjtheprince — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 12:29:02 GMT

Not surprising, I don't think there has ever been a loss in PB or MM history anytime extreme, extreme, extreme low numbers have been drawn.

I still want to see 1-2-3-4-5 1 drawn so we can see 100,000+ JP winners. LOL

Congratulations to all the winners. 15 tickets with the same white balls-great.

Looks like someone may have been thinking about the tragic day of 9 11 and the winning numbers highest digit was 23.

An amazing win congrats to the lucky winner.

Congrats to the winner. Hopefully it is someone who really needs it.

on a side note - Lottery gods, how about the next big winner coming from Washington state! Haha

Illinois lottery ticket wins $260M Mega Millions jackpot

By Todd Northrop

One lucky Illinois lottery player is a whole lot happier today, after they won a Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $260 million Tuesday night.

It's the fourth time the Mega Millions jackpot has been won this year. Another Illinois player took home $265 million on January 16, and New Yorkers claimed back-to-back jackpots on February 27 ($127 million) and March 24 ($59 million).

Last night's jackpot win is the second-largest prize in Illinois Lottery history, and t... [ More ]
