Mega Millions Winner drawing on Tuesday buying the winning ticket in a lottery game – Thousands of people lined up in 41 states and Washington, DC, before the Mega Millions drawing Tuesday in hopes of buying the winning ticket in a lottery game and 355 million jackpots. The award is the fourth in the history of the United States and second in the history of Mega Millions, said Lottery spokeswoman Cindy Esquer of Arizona. Raffle prizes of $ 390 million in March 2007 and remains the richest nation on record.
We don’t know who yet, the Mega Million officials will confirm if and where from the winner is on Wednesday morning. If someone was lucky enough to select the numbers or get a quick pick with the numbers 15-47-4-25-8 (and Mega Ball 42), then they are the winner. But I can tell you that in California – the state I live in – there was no ticket sold that was the ONE jackpot winner. And Georgia and Kentucky are reporting that they don’t have the big winner either.
“The line was out the door,” with 500 or more online at times on Saturday and Sunday, said a waitress and cashier Christine Millim.
The cash option jackpot amounts to about 224 million. Besides the jackpot, prices range from $ 2 to $ 250,000.
The game expanded last year under an agreement with cross-selling Powerball to become available in 41 states and Washington, DC
Website of the game momentarily fell Tuesday night, at the time that the winning numbers are displayed. Officials stripped the site down to a simple Web page with the logo and the amount of the jackpot to help high-speed connections because of “unprecedented traffic.”
