Mega Millions Lottery Drawing Totals for Tuesday August 5: Check Before You Buy Tickets [UPDATE]

No one won this weekend’s Mega Millions lottery drawing meaning that the new totals for tonights game have risen higher yet again. Check the preview below to see how much you could win before you buy your tickets.

Before we tell you how much you could win, check out a report of last month's big $66 million dollar winner:

“Kelsey Zachow will never forget the heart-pounding adrenaline rush she felt when she learned she had won a $66 million Mega Millions jackpot.

“‘I started playing the Lottery because of the chance to win millions. I always dreamed about winning and what I would do with the money, and now that dream is a reality,’ Zachow said.

“Ironically, Zachow, of Port Huron, won her jackpot last month on what many consider the unluckiest of days: Friday the 13th.

“Zachow walked into Sonny’s Mart, located at 12 Market Street in Mount Clemens, and bought five Mega Millions plays. Her fifth number, an easy pick, matched the Mega Millions numbers drawn that evening – 07-38-46-49-56 and the Gold Mega Ball: 01 – to win the $66 million jackpot from the Michigan Lottery.

“Zachow elected to receive her jackpot as a one-time lump sum cash payment of nearly $38 million, and will take home nearly $27 million after taxes.

“The 24-year-old Zachow didn’t know she was the big jackpot winner until 10 days after the drawing. She had accumulated several tickets in her purse and visited a Lottery retailer to scan them and see what she had won.

“‘When the clerk at the store told me I had a big winner I was positive that he was mistaken,’ said Zachow. ‘There was a long line in the store behind me, so I decided to leave and looked the numbers up on MichiganLottery.com when I got into my car. That’s when I realized I had won the jackpot and could barely breathe.’”

The new totals for tonight’s game have risen to a mind blow, $ 100 million, with an estimated cash value of $51 million. Check back in with us tonight to see if you won.
