Huge Rollover in Mega Millions
15th November 2008 12:28 PM
No winning tickets matched all the numbers in last nights’ draw creating a huge rollover in Mega Millions. The jackpot for the next draw held on Tuesday 18th November will be an estimated $73 million available in an annuity option or a cool $45 million if taken as a lump sum in the cash out option.
The winning numbers in Fridays draw were 3, 18, 19, 30, 34 with a Mega Ball 3 and although there were no jackpot winners Mega Millions still produced some big winners.
Five lucky Mega Millions players matched five numbers without the Mega Ball scooping $250,000 each. Three of the tickets came from winners in California with a further two going to players in New York.
Another nineteen ticket holders matched four main numbers and the Mega Ball securing £10,000 cash wins.
Mega Millions is the US multistate Lottery. Draws for the Mega Millions are held every Tuesday and Friday night at 11pm ET so get your tickets now for the next draw for your chance at the $73 million jackpot!
To win the Mega Millions Lottery you need to match five main numbers-chosen from 1-56 – to the five numbers drawn in the main draw, plus the Mega Ball chosen from numbers 1-46. Tickets cost $1 each and are available to purchase up to 15 minutes before the draw, If won you can choose to take an annual payment option or a smaller amount as a lump sum.
At $73 this is going to be a pretty impressive Mega Millions jackpot yet nowhere near some of the prizes won in the multistate lottery. Past Jackpots in the Mega Millions have been known to be as high as $300 million so this one has a way to go yet to become a record jackpot.
