Monster Christmas jackpot for Mega Millions Lottery
24/12/2010 01:07:14
Santa is coming tonight and everyone is very excited, however in the world lottery office we’re excited about the monster Christmas jackpot for the Mega Millions Lottery. Last week we brought you the news that the jackpot had topped $100 million but it’s just soared since then and a lottery rollover on Tuesday evening means that tonight’s Mega Millions Lottery draw is worth a massive $168 million if won by a single ticketholder, that's $107 million even if it's taken as a lump sum instead of the annuity option.
The winning numbers for Tuesday’s Mega Millions Lottery draw are 8 – 11 – 12 – 31 – 32 and the Mega Ball 29. However, despite very high ticket sales for the draw, the Mega Millions jackpot remained elusive, with no one walking away with the top prize. It would be great to see it won before Christmas and with the $168 million being held tonight, on Christmas Eve, it could mean an early Christmas treat for one lucky Mega Millions Lottery player.
The last time the Mega Millions Lottery jackpot was won was on 9th November when one ticketholder walked away with a $25 million jackpot. This Christmas Eve jackpot puts that $25 million in the shade, and at $168 million, even the cash option is worth $107 million.
If no one wins the Mega Millions jackpot tonight, we could see this massive lottery jackpot top $200 million before the New Year and that will no doubt cause an even bigger frenzy than we already have. Let’s hope that Santa works his magic tonight and brings one lucky lottery player this staggering rollover jackpot!
