Mega
Millions Jackpot Grows to $56 Million
So you think nobody won Tuesday's
Mega Millions drawing? Not so. Even without
a jackpot winner, there were more than 500,000
winning tickets. That includes eight tickets
that came within just one number of hitting
the jackpot. Now the jackpot for the Friday,
March 17, 2006 Mega Millions drawing grows to
an estimated annuity value of $56 million.
The
winning numbers in Tuesday's drawing were: 27-28-30-42-50
and the Mega Ball number was 22.
Those
eight tickets that each matched the first five
numbers and only missed the Mega Ball number
were purchased in California, Georgia, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Michigan (2), New York and Washington.
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.
