The Mega Millions jackpot has rolled over into the serious money zone.  None of the players in last night’s game scored all six winning numbers : 9, 10,  20, 51, 53, and the Mega Ball 24.  For that reason, the Double-M jackpot leaped the $50 million mark — and now hovers at around $53 million.

The next chance to win this lottery jackpot is Friday, June 17. The draw is at 8 p.m.

Several Mega Millions players who bought tickets in California for last night’s draw — are really glad they did. Today they’re probably dancing around singing  the line, “money, money, money, money, mon-ey,” from that  O’Jays’ hit, “For the Love of Money” (1973).

The winner of the $51 million jackpot bought the lucky ticket at Stuarts Oak Street Mobil, 2 Oak Street in Bakersfield. That ticket has all of the winning numbers: 1, 16, 29, 36, 50, and the Mega Ball 16.

Another ticket purchased in San Francisco had all the numbers right, except the Mega Ball. That ticket is worth $220,311. Two tickets bought in the Golden State had four of the winning numbers and the Mega Ball.  Each of those tickets can be cashed in for $30,042.  Hey, is one of those tickets yours?

Next, Mega Millions draw is this Friday, May 6, at 8 p.m. The jackpot  — at least $12 million.

No one hit the jackpot by picking all of the winning numbers in last night’s Mega Millions lottery draw. The lucky digits are 5, 6, 7, 30, 45, and the Mega Ball 42. Two California tickets got all but the Mega Ball number right. Each is worth $105,764.

January 26th, 2011

Logo for the Californa Lottery and the Mega Millions game

The Mega Millions jackpot appears to be headed into that lottery fever zone again. No ticket held all of the winning numbers — so the jackpot grew to $77 million. The lucky digits from yesterday’s draw: 5, 8, 31, 46, 50 and the Mega Ball 4.

Two California players did score a nice payback from that game. Those tickets missed out on the big one — by one number — the Mega Ball. Each ticket is worth $118, 692. That extra cash could ease some of the financial pains of trying to make ends meet in this economy.

The next Mega Millions draw is this Friday, January 28 at 8.p.m.
