Mega Million jackpot grows
UNITED STATES – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Even though there was no jackpot winner in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing, a lot of players still walked away winners. With nine different ways to win, a total of 369,032 tickets won prizes in the November 21 drawing. That includes one lucky ticket that won $250,000. Since no ticket matched all six numbers to take home the jackpot, that jackpot grows to an estimated $23 million for the Friday, November 24, 2006 drawing.
The winning numbers in Tuesday's drawing were: 7-13-20-42-47 and the Mega Ball number was 9.
The ticket that won $250,000 did so by matching the first five numbers and only missing the Mega Ball number. It was purchased in Texas.
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.
