Mega
Million Jackpot Grows to $64 Million
So you think nobody won Tuesday's
Mega Millions drawing? Not so. Even without
a jackpot winner, there were more than 440,000
winning tickets from coast to coast. Since no
ticket in Tuesday's drawing matched all six
numbers, the jackpot for the Friday, December
23, 2005 Mega Millions drawing grows to an estimated
annuity value of $64 million.
The
winning numbers in Tuesday's drawing were: 6-20-23-40-56
and the Mega Ball number was 36. Here is a complete
breakdown of the winning tickets:
Pari-mutuel
prizes means that prize amounts vary with the
number of tickets sold and the number of winning
tickets in each prize category.
Six
tickets came within a heartbeat of winning the
jackpot. Each matched the first five numbers
and only missed the Mega Ball number. Three
of those tickets were purchased in California,
two in New Jersey and one in Michigan.
Mega
Millions is played in 12 states: California,
Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas,
Virginia and Washington.
Mega
Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays
at 11:00 PM Eastern Time, 10:00 PM Central Time
and 8:00 PM Pacific Time.
