From the latest MegaMillions press release:
Mega Millions is the hottest ticket around. The brisk sales across the nation have prompted officials in the Mega Millions states to increase their estimate of the Tuesday, January 4 drawing to $330 million.
There was no jackpot winner in the December 31 drawing, but 3.1 million tickets won prizes ranging from $2 to $1 million. Mega Millions holds the record for the largest jackpot ever in North America: $390 million on March 6, 2007.
Mega Millions is currently played in 42 jurisdictions (41 states plus the District of Columbia). Drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time; 10:00 p.m. Central Time; 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time and 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time.I'm too embarrassed to tell you how many tickets I'm sitting on. Good luck to all of us!
UPDATE: The drawing is a half an hour away, and the jackpot has been increased to $355 million!! Hope you bought your ticket!!
Also, their website is so inundated with traffic, they have disabled its usual functionality. It's all about this drawing only. Wow!
