The Mega Millions jackpot is on a money roll. No one got all of the winning numbers correct in last night’s draw. Those hot numbers are 24, 27, 31, 45, 52, and the Mega is 38. However, two California players did get all but the Mega right — each ticket is worth $197, 007.

Today the Mega Millions money pot stands at $118 million — could be even higher by the next draw this Friday, May 4, at 7:45 p.m.

April 30th, 2012

Another big money Mega Millions lottery draw coming up. Today that moolah stash is up to $102 million. The jackpot grew by several million last Friday, when no one selected the correct numbers in that draw. Those winning numbers: 2, 5, 45, 46, 47, and the Mega number 37. Two California players got all but the Mega correct. Each one of those tickets is worth a$312, 766. The next draw is tomorrow, Tuesday at 7 :45 p.m.

Meanwhile,California lottery officials are still waiting for several winners from that historic $656 million Mega Millions jackpot to step forward and claim their prize. Twenty-nine Californians got five of the six numbers right in that draw, held a month ago today. All but three have cashed in their ticket — which is worth $227, 000.  One of those tickets was bought in the Hollywood Bazaar at 6701 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood.

Several lucky and now very rich lottery winners are probably doing a happy dance today. They are going to share in the record breaking Mega Millions jackpot of $640 million. There are reportedly winners in Kansas, Illinois, and Maryland. Each jackpot ticket is worth around $213 million before taxes.

Here in the Golden State, 29 ticket holders got five of the winning numbers correct. A ticket with those hot digits is worth $227, 955. In the Southland, there are winners in Hollywood, West Covina, Venice, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Montebello, and Long Beach — sigh, no Burbank. Here are those winning numbers again: 2, 4, 23, 38, 46, and 23.

The next Mega Millions draw is Tuesday, April 3. The jackpot: $12 million.

Photo: FLLewis/Media City G -- Last minute Mega Millions ticket buyers waited in a line at the 7-Eleven at 2055 West Glenoaks Boulevard in Glendale March 30, 2012

The 7-Eleven at 2055 West Glenoaks Boulevard ,on the border between Burbank and Glendale, was flooded with lottery ticket buyers today. In fact, the staff set up two lines — one strictly for lottery ticket purchases. As the clock ticked down to draw time at 7:54 p.m, Mega Million ticket sales were restricted to only quick picks here.

I asked a staffer if the store had ever sold a lottery winner. Not a jackpot ticket, but one for $300,000 a while back I was told.

Here are the winning  numbers for the $640 million Mega Millions draw tonight: 2, 4, 23, 38, 46, and the Mega Ball 23. Update coming when a winner or winners are announced.

Time is running out to get in on that historic Mega Millions lottery draw.You have only a few hours to buy tickets for a shot at a jackpot that has soared to $640 million! The jackpot is now the largest ever in the world.Yeah, that kind of money is hard to imagine. Even a chunk of that jackpot would provide a nice lifestyle and secure future for most folks.

I bought a Mega Millions ticket at the Burbank Deli & Market near Beachwood Drive and Alameda Avenue yesterday morning. “Good luck to us,” the store clerk said as he handed me my ticket. I understood right away. I replied,”… the store retailer gets a million bucks for selling the winning lottery ticket.” He smiled and added, “we’re part of your team.”  Interesting way of looking at it.

The big Mega Millions draw is at 7:45 p.m. this evening.

UPDATED: Mega huge jackpot $206 million!

UPDATED: Friday 12/30/11

One very lucky ticket, bought  in New York , has all of the important digits for last Tuesday’s Mega Millions draw. Those numbers: 23, 32, 33, 39, 43 and the Mega number 8.  Three tickets purchased here in Cally missed only the Mega number. Each of those tickets is paying out $338, 106.

**********

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has leaped the $200 million mark. For weeks, players have not been able to match all six numbers in recent draws. Last Friday the winning digits were: 8, 3, 5, 29, 18, and the Mega number 14. No winner, so the jackpot skyrocketed to 206 million bucks!

Five tickets bought in the Golden State did come very close to winning it all. They had all but the Mega ball. Each is worth $155, 663. That will pay off a lot of holiday shopping and entertainment bills.

The next big Mega Millions draw is tomorrow, 8 p.m.
