  Mega Millions really "shared the wealth" this drawing. Pretty rare to have such an even split of $175,000 winners, especially given the variations in player pool sizes among the nine states.

  It is about time something that this happened. I find it funny though that Illinois and Michigan were the two states that didn't have a $175,000 winner and these two states used to have the most winners in the old Big Game. I am from Michigan and I have noticed a dip in those prizes even though the odds from matching 5 in the old Big Game to matching 5 in Mega Millions have only changed a couple hundred thousand.
