A hefty bag of money in the Mega Millions lottery jackpot. That big winner’s pot now stands $230 million. You could really “deck the halls” and shop t’ll you drop with a bundle like that.
The winning numbers from last Tuesday’s draw: 27, 44, 59, 74, 75 and the Mega Ball 3. Not only did no one score the jackpot, but there was no winner that matched all five numbers in California. The payout for that would have been $1, 214, 542. Now that would have been a nifty retirement bonus. Eight lucky ticket holders in the Golden State did have 4 winning numbers and the Mega. That ticket paid $5, 318, not a fortune but a nice stocking stuffer.
The next draw is tonight, after the ticket buying closes at 7:45 p.m.
