The official Mega Millions website, is offering up a special report on the huge new jackpot, stating:
“An estimated $353 million Mega Millions jackpot ($194 million cash option) will attract lottery players across the country this Friday. At that level, the prize ranks as the fifth largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.
Two tickets hit five of the six numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing (9, 14, 56, 57 and 69) but missed the Mega Ball of 10 to fall short of the jackpot prize. The Match 5 winning tickets, worth $1 million each, were purchased in Texas and Washington. A total of 95 Match 5 winning tickets have been sold since the Mega Millions matrix changed last October.
The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won for $61 million on January 3 by a lucky Tennessee player. More than 35.5 million prizes at all levels have been won since that date, from the $1 million Match 5 prize down to a $1 prize for matching only the Mega Ball. Many of those winners saw their prizes Megaplied by a factor of 2, 3, 4 or 5 because they purchased the optional Megaplier. There are a total of nine ways to win Mega Millions including the jackpot. “
If you do get lucky enought to win, the website goes on to state:
“What if you win the jackpot?
Annuity option: The Mega Millions annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one. We used to pay the jackpot in equal installments, but players expressed concern that the cost of living would be increasing while their payments were not. We changed to payments that increase each year to help protect winners’ lifestyle and purchasing power.”
Until next time, keep hoping and stop working-Brick Dozer.
