Mega Millions Hits Record-Setting Jackpot Of $500 Million
It's almost unimaginable. No one picked the six correct
numbers in the latest multi-state Mega Millions lottery game, sending the
jackpot to a record $500 million for the Friday drawing.
Tuesday night's jackpot was $363 million, fed by weeks of
drawings without a top winner. The previous record jackpot in the Mega Millions
game was $390 million in 2007, split by two winners in New Jersey and Georgia.
In Tuesday night's game, 47 players came very close, matching
5 of the 6 winning numbers. Each of those tickets is worth at least $250,000.
Two were in Michigan.
Mega Millions is played in more than 40 states, the
District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The winning numbers Tuesday night were: 9, 19, 34, 44 and
51. The Mega Ball was 24.
