New Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot Total for May 8: Check Prize Amount Before You Play

There was no winner for this week’s already massive Mega Millions lottery jackpot drawing, meaning that tonight’s (May 8) new total has risen even higher. Check out the report below to see just how much you could win.

The all new total for tonight’s Mega Millions lottery jackpot drawing has reached a whopping $126 million with an estimated cash value option of $78 million.

The official Mega Millions lottery website is reporting on a recently winner in Columbia S.C., who took home $1 million:

“April 29, 2015 - A Columbia, S.C., bachelor doesn’t know how he’s going to spend his $1 million Mega Millions win, but boy is he going to have fun figuring it out.

“A fancy new car, a bigger home, and a worry-free retirement are all possibilities. ‘I still can’t believe it,’ the winner said. ‘I’m stunned.’

“Sunday, the retiree was checking a stack of lottery tickets online, crumpling up and throwing away non-winners as he went, when he stumbled upon a keeper.

“‘I saw one, two, three and then five numbers match,’ he said. ‘I put the ticket down and came back a half hour later and checked the numbers again.’

“Sure enough, a $1 Mega Millions ticket from the Eagle Express on Airport Blvd. in West Columbia matched the first five numbers (31, 33, 35, 41, and 69) but missed the Megaball number (11) drawn on Tuesday, April 21 to win $1 million.”
