Wednesday, February 14, 2007 posted 11:53 AM EST
The Mega Millions jackpot continues to create excitement, as a total of 750,290 tickets from coast to coast were winners
in the Tuesday, February 13 drawing. Since no ticket matched all six numbers to win the estimated $106 million jackpot, the
jackpot for the Friday, February 16, 2007 drawing grows to an estimated $130 million.
The winning numbers in Tuesday's drawing were: 03-09-24-29-41 and the Mega Ball number was 41.
A total of nine tickets came within a heartbeat of winning the jackpot by matching the first five numbers and only missing
the Mega Ball number. Those tickets were purchased in California (3), Georgia (1), Michigan (1), New Jersey (2), New York
(1) and Texas (1).
This jackpot has been growing since January 9, when Mega Millions had its most recent jackpot winner. The jackpot has now
rolled 10 times without a winner. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately one in 176 million. The odds of winning
any of the Mega Millions prizes are approximately 1 in 40.
