MEGA MILLIONS, June 13 -- Lucky players nationwide continue to win big with Mega Millions. In Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing,
a total of 412,035 tickets from coast to coast won prizes, including five tickets that each won $250,000. Since no ticket
matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, the jackpot grows to an estimated $45 million for the Friday, June 15, 2007 drawing.
