Well, the good news is that no one won this past Tuesday’s Mega Millions grand prize drawing. That means that this Friday’s totals are rising, however, not by much. Check the preview for the new amounts.
The Mega Millions grand prize for this Friday’s numbers has risen to $20 million. The cash value for the drawing has reached an estimated $10 mil.
The official Mega Millions Website is reporting on a few winners as of late. One report tells the story of a $61 million winner:
“The first Mega Millions drawing of the new year produced a jackpot winner in Tennessee, with one lucky ticket taking the $61 million prize on January 3. The winning numbers were 22, 24, 25, 40 and 70, with a Megaball of 5 completing the mix. It is the first Mega Millions jackpot winner for Tennessee.”
However, that amount is nothing compared to the recent $656 million. The site goes on tell the story of the second winner of the recent massive drawing:
“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.’”
