The Mega Millions lottery can not stop giving away money. This past Friday, the games gave away $61 million, after less than one month after handing over $656 million. It seems like the Mega Millions is the game to play. Check the lotto preview for the new totals for the next drawing on Tuesday, January 7, as well as the stories from recent winners. And be sure to buy your tickets for chance to win big.
The new total for this week's Mega Millions game has been reduced to the depressing, and yet still life changing, default amount of $15 million, with a cash option of $7 million.
The meager $15 million only looks small stacked up beside the massive totals of late. Speaking of that drawing, the second winner for last month’s $656 million game has finally gotten around to checking his tickets. It took Stevem Tran to finally look over his tickets, but once he did he got a very big surprise. The offical MM website tells his story:
“Like so many of you, Tran said he couldn’t help but drop some bills trying to hit the jackpot in the draw on December 17. Why not? There was more than half a billion dollars on the line. He was thrilled watching the San Jose story play out on the news the following day. ‘Everybody was anxious, looking for the person,’ Tran said about the media coverage. He couldn’t help but think, “Must be a lucky man.” At that moment, Tran says he didn’t know the Lottery player the nation was looking for was him.
“Tran says he and his family like to visit San Jose because there is a large Vietnamese community there, plus they can eat and shop. On the Saturday before the draw, they stopped by Jennifer’s Gift Shop, which is located at 1818 Tully Road in San Jose (Santa Clara County) and bought five Quick Pick® tickets.
“Here’s where things become a little muddy, but help explain why he took so long to claim his giant prize. Tran said he added that ticket to a pile of other Lottery tickets he had purchased in multiple other towns while making his runs as a delivery driver. According to Tran, the entire lot ended up ‘Just sitting in my house, on top of my drawer.’”
