Still no winner for Mega Millions Lottery
23rd January 2010 11:58 AM
Last night lottery players were out in force to buy tickets for the Mega Millions as the jackpot topped $100 million on the midweek draw but there’s still no winner for the Mega Millions Lottery after another rollover last night and that has pushed the estimated jackpot up to $121 million. Despite high ticket sales for the draw, and a bumper jackpot, no players matched all the winning numbers in last night’s Mega Millions Lottery and that gives players a lot to try for on Tuesday evening.
It’s quite a grand prize, even when you consider there is tax to be paid on any Mega Millions lottery winnings. The winning numbers in last night’s draw were 8 – 13 – 27 – 28 – 52 and the Mega Ball 9. Despite the jackpot topping out at $105 million no winning tickets matched all the winning numbers. Six lucky players matched four of the five winning numbers and the Mega Ball and each of those won $10,000.
Another of the big American lottery draws also has a big prize on offer. Tonight’s Powerball Lottery, although not quite as high as the Mega Millions Lottery is worth $65 million after several rollovers bumped up the jackpot.
That’s a total of almost $200 million in prizes in the two main American Lottery draws and you can play either of these from our World Lottery pages. The Mega Millions Lottery is held on Tuesday and Friday evenings and we’ll be watching that one until it’s won and the Powerball Lottery is held on Wednesday and Saturdays, we’ll be bringing you the results and winners from tonight’s Powerball Lottery in our lottery numbers article tomorrow.
