Mega Millions Gets A Winner
Most of us will respond to this news by thinking, "Oh well, I still have the Powerball tonight." Unless you happened to have traveled to Florida over the past few days and picked up a Mega Millions Lottery ticket in Port Richey Florida. That's where lottery officials are saying the winning single ticket worth an estimated $450 million was sold.
Just because you didn't match all the numbers and the Mega Ball doesn't mean you didn't win something. You need to check your ticket to see if you won any of the other prizes associated with the game.
As for the Powerball game, the jackpot is estimated to be $570 million. That drawing is tonight at 9:59 PM. Ticket sales by rule must cease 59 minutes ahead of the drawing so if you want a ticket you'll need to purchase yours before 9 PM.
