One Mega Money Winner: $900K

Seems like a good day to talk about the lotto. I bought a Mega Millions ticket today after the cashier at my friendly neighborhood gas station conned me into it. First one I have bought in about 5 years I believe. Good time to get conned into one though. The Mega Millions has an estimated jackpot of $220 Million coming May 1st. The cash option for winning this bad boy is $143.5 Million. Not too shabby. I might be able to get the new copper kitchen sinks I have my eye on. More like gold if I win that...lol

Anyways, nne ticket matched the four winning numbers plus the Mega Ball number to collect $900,000 in the Mega Money game, the Florida Lottery said Wednesday.

The winning ticket was bought in Jacksonville, lottery officials said.

Nine tickets won $812 each for picking 4-of-4; 81 tickets won $197.50 each for picking 3-of-4 plus the Mega Ball number; 1,239 tickets won $38.50 each for picking 3-of-4; 1,844 tickets won $18 each for picking 2-of-4 plus the Mega Ball; 13,683 won $2 each for matching one number plus the Mega Ball; 34,164 tickets won $2 each for picking 2-of-4; and 26,707 won a free Quick Pick ticket for matching the Mega Ball.

The numbers drawn Tuesday night were 4-5-16-20 and the Mega Ball was 4.
