Mega
Millions Ticket Wins $88 Million
The final Mega Millions drawing
of 2005 has proven to be very lucky for whoever
has one special ticket. That ticket, which was
purchased in California, matched all six numbers
to win a jackpot estimated at $88 million. The
winning numbers were 14-20-25-40-44 and the
Mega Ball number was 37.
But
that certainly wasn't the only winner in the
Friday, December 30, 2005 drawing. A total of
588,375 tickets won Mega Millions prizes.
Seven
tickets came within just one number of winning
it all. Each of them matched the first five
numbers and only missed the Mega Ball number.
Those tickets were purchased in California (1),
Georgia (2), Massachusetts (1), New Jersey (2),
and Ohio (1).
The
jackpot for the Tuesday, January 3, 2006 Mega
Millions drawing is $12 million.
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.
