The winning ticket was purchased at the Century City 76, 10389 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles. Two Match 5 tickets were also sold in the April 4 drawing, one each in California and Georgia."

The site also reported on the Mega Millions winner of the $414 Mega Millions jackpot last March 19, adding:

"Maryland is once again the home of a Mega Millions jackpot after selling one of the winning tickets for last night's drawing. The winning ticket, which was sold at Lady's Liquors located at 6474 Crain Highway in La Plata, matched all six numbers including the Mega Ball. The $414 million jackpot has a cash option of $230.9 million."

The two Mega Millions winning tickets were sold nationwide after taxes and the Maryland Mega Millions winner will take home approximately $76.4 million if choosing the cash option. For selling the winning Mega Millions ticket, Maryland will receive more than $10.1 million in tax revenue.

There was also a $1 million second-tier winning ticket sold at
Waterbury Liquors located at 1021 Generals Highway in Crownsville in addition to the big Mega Millions winners. The 1-million Mega Millions second-tier winner matched the first five winning numbers, missing only the Mega Ball.

This year the Mega Millions lottery game is producing more and more winners and more and more people are graced with the Mega Millions jackpot prizes.

The month of April has also brought in two Mega Millions winners of $1 million dollars. They are from Charlotte, North Carolina and Westland, Missouri, both on April 1. So far, this year has brought in 15 Mega Millions winners of $1 million. This year has produced four $1 million Mega Millions second-tier tickets sold in Maryland.

Meanwhile, tonight's Powerball game jackpot is on to US$70 million with the cash value of US$41.5 million as the March 22 draw produced winners in Missouri. The Powerball winners, John and Susan Brands, won US$55,351,107.35 in cash, according to the Powerball website.

As the Mega Millions game continues to produce jackpot winners of its players, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to rise, and so ticket sales have also skyrocketed for Mega Millions. The Arizona lottery officials are anticipating as much as 5,000 additional Mega Millions ticket sales today following Friday's draw.

Virginia Lottery Executive Director Paula Otto said on the sales of Mega Millions tickets: "The vast majority of our sales happen the day of the drawing." The executive director also shared that Mega Millions ticket sales dramatically increase as the date of the draw gets nearer. This is also because most Americans like to buy Mega Millions tickets at the last minute. She also explained that most people follow the draws and estimate the final jackpot first before purchasing the Mega Millions tickets.

The winning numbers for the Mega Millions Friday draw were 01-18-26-35-40. The Gold Mega Ball is 13, while the Megaplier is also 05. As the Mega Millions jackpot rises and continues to be won for the Mega Millions game, so are the sales of the tickets, especially as it reaches a whopping $92 million or more, according to lottery experts.

Director of Budget, Products, and Communication for Arizona Lottery Karen Bach said that although ticket sales for Mega Millions have undeniably increased, the odds of winning remain the same for tonight's Mega Millions drawing. Everyone's luck will be tested in today's draw, with only the lucky winning six numbers eligible to take home the mind-blowing Mega Millions jackpot prize of US$92 million.

Mega Millions Tickets are sold in 42 states including the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands for only $1, so it won't be surprising if we will be having a winner or a group of winners after tonight's Mega Millions draw.

In order to play and win the Mega Millions jackpot prize of of $92 million on May 6, a player must choose six numbers; five of which are from 1 to 75 while the remaining one is referred to as the Mega Ball and is only chosen from 1 to 15. If all of the numbers on the ticket of the player are the same digits flashed after the Mega Millions draw, then he is bringing home the total jackpot prize. It's harder than it looks however, because lottery officials say that the overall likelihood of winning the Mega Millions jackpot prize is 1 in over 259 million, while the odds of winning any prize at all is 1 in 14.7. On the other hand, there are also second-place prizes for tickets with five winning numbers. The second place prize is $1 million.

The Mega Millions winning numbers are drawn every Tuesday and Friday at around 10:45 p.m. EST. Official results of the day's draw are posted shortly after 11 p.m. EST on the main webpage of the Mega Millions Lottery. Winnings are delivered in two options: one-time cash payment or in 30 separate payments.

If no one matches all six Mega Millions winning numbers in today's drawing, the next Mega Millions jackpot will most likely go over the $100 million mark by the time the next drawing rolls around on Friday, May 9.
