Phew – what a week that was! A world gripped by lottery fever – frenetic last minute ticket buying – a Mega Millions lottery jackpot that jumped nearly $100 MILLION from an estimated $356 MILLION last Monday to a new world record of $640 MILLION and 3 jackpot WINNERS from Maryland, Kansas and Illinois respectively!

Another 161 players: 1 from Arizona, 1 from Arkansas, 29 from California, 2 from Colorado, 1 from Connecticut, 1 from Delaware, 6 from Georgia, 2 from Idaho, 11 from Illinois, 1 from Indiana, 1 from Kansas, 4 from Kentucky, 2 from Louisiana, 4 from Maryland, 5 from Massachusetts, 6 from Michigan, 4 from Minnesota, 1 from Missouri, 5 from New Jersey, 1 from New Mexico, 17 from New York, 4 from North Carolina, 10 from Ohio, 1 from Oklahoma, 5 from Pennsylvania, 1 from Rhode Island, 1 from South Carolina, 1 from South Dakota, 2 from Tennessee, 14 from Texas, 5 from Virginia, 5 from Washington, 1 from West Virginia, 3 from Wisconsin, narrowly missed a slice of the jackpot cake by matching the five main numbers: 02 – 04 – 23 – 38 – 46 but passed on the number 23 Mega Ball; still they did manage to blag at least $227,000 apiece as consolation.

Another 897 players pocketed at least $10,000 each for matching 4 mains and the Mega Ball. The remainder of the available prize pot was shared between 16,351,557 other Mega Millions players with prizes ranging from $2 up to $160.

So what happens next? Well the Mega Millions jackpot is reset to its starting point of $12 MILLION ready for the next draw tomorrow and the whole cycle starts all over again. Whilst last Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot was indeed big, don’t forget there are a couple of other big, big lottery jackpots just waiting for a winner this week. Right alongside tomorrows Mega Millions is Italy’s SuperEnalotto with a jackpot standing at ONE HUNDRED and FIVE MILLION bucks, EuroMillions with a TWENTY EIGHT MILLION dollar jackpot and on Wednesday there’s the USA’s Powerball draw with SEVENTY MILLION greenbacks in the pot.

As they say in all the best circles – “It ain’t over ‘till the fat lady sings” – well her song is now sung – the game has been played – we have a result, and we have least one, Mega Millions jackpot WINNER! The last few days has seen a Mega Millions ticket buying frenzy as players from all over the world turned their cash into Mega Millions lottery tickets hoping that Lady Luck would give them the wink that the world record SIX HUNDRED and FORTY MILLION US dollars was theirs and in the bag.

Well if you’ve got a Mega Millions ticket with the numbers: 02 – 04 – 23 – 38 – 46 and Mega Ball 23, printed across the front and it was valid for last night’s draw then Lady Luck very definitely came up trumps and I expect you had a bit of a sleepless night taking in the fact that you’re now amongst the world’s super rich!

What we do know is that there is at least one WINNING ticket holder, purchased in Maryland USA. So if you haven’t yet checked your mail box or your tickets then get on the case – dig them out from those “safe” hiding places and if you’ve got a match then – how can I put this – YOU’VE WON!

Just a reminder that there’s still a massive amount of jackpot cash waiting to taken later today – there’s Italy’s SuperEnalotto worth $105 MILLION and the USA’s Powerball with $60 MILLION in the pot and there’s still time to get a slice of the action! You can buy a ticket for all of the weekend’s lotteries, right here at WinTrillions, just click the links and you too could be a multi-millionaire by bedtime tonight!

Just to make up for the fact that neither Mega Millions, SuperEnalotto, Powerball, EuroMillions, Lotto 6/49, California Super Lotto or indeed many other big name lotteries managed to land first prize jackpot winners over the weekend, here’s a couple of recently published newspaper headlines for you to mull over – I’ll leave you to write your own stories.

“Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers!” and “If Strike isn’t Settled Quickly, It May Last a While!” That’ll help you while away some time until this week’s midweek lottery draws kick off!

Of course no big prize takers means only one thing; massive rollover prizes! Starting tomorrow, Mar. 13!

You may remember that a while back I wrote about “divination” – the art of foretelling the future or the discovery of hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers, and I also wrote about “numerology” – the study of numbers, again based upon the premise that numbers can reveal the future or hidden information!

You may also remember that you have two particular numbers which hold a special meaning; your “birthday number” and your “life path number!” Well, if still you’re unconvinced of the importance of numbers in people’s lives – just don’t let on to either Michael Shaver or Ronald Simmons!

They are two Vietnam War Veterans from Weston, West Virginia, who have played the Powerball lottery with a combination of loved ones’ birthdays for 25 years and are now multi – millionaires after matching all five main numbers: 1 – 4 -11 – 23 – 26 in the Feb, 29 draw, what’s unusual is the fact that they played the SAME five numbers SEVEN times but missed out on the $40 MILLION top prize because they didn’t match the Powerball number – 14.

Still, they did manage to win a cool $1 million on each ticket which was automatically doubled to $2 million because they chose the PowerPlay option, so SEVEN winning tickets worth a MILLION apiece DOUBLED in value to TWO MILLION each – giving them a total prize of FOURTEEN MILLION dollars! Now that’s just got to be the daddy of consolation prizes!

Remember, you can buy Powerball tickets, as well as buy tickets for many of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries from right here at WinTrillions – to play just click the links – it couldn’t be easier!
