A Question About the Mega Millions Game

Looking at the past NY Mega Millions Winners and I noticed something...
I was searching the net about NY Mega Millions and quick picks and I stumbled upon this great website here. I kind of notice something about the past jackpot and second prize winners. It seems that only certain places win such as Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Rocky Point, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island and those places closer to the more urban and city type areas.Now I might be crazy but I think purchasing tickets in this area is a good idea. .....than after finding this article I am hoping

Powerball outmuscles Mega Millions in sales, jackpotsReply

Help with Gap detection formula.Reply
Afternoon all, Well, I figured out this much so far: @INDEX($MEGA MILLIONS:$D$20..$MEGA MILLIONS:$J$444,0,@MATCH(I8,$MEGA MILLIONS:$E$20..$MEGA MILLIONS:$I$444,0)) The problem is that the formula only searches for the first match then gives the draw # as 328 which is correct for the match in the 1st draw column.
