Jackpot up to $ 580M but no mega million winners on Tuesday.

It’s really surprising that no jackpot winning ticket was sold in Tuesday night’s mega millions drawing worth an estimated $ 454 million. I got this information from a lottery official yesterday. I was also informed mega millionsnumbers that no one won the jackpot and it will increase to an estimated $508 million for the next drawing in Friday.

In my opinion this has slightly better odds than the Power ball game, so it’s rare that nearly four months have passed without someone winning a mega million jackpot. Yesterday that is Tuesday marks the 34^th time the jackpot has rolled over without a winner.

The previous record was 22 rolls and this is their longest roll ever by far. Let me inform you that there are several factors for the lack of a winner and it includes fewer players. The highest jackpot lottery drawn in the US was a $1.6 billion Power ball jackpot won in January by players in three states.

Again it takes much bigger jackpots to get player excited and this looks like the tipping point might be right about now. In downtown Baltimore Maryland I saw on Tuesday lotto dealers waving a handful of mega million s tickets, and jokingly claiming he was holding a fortune in his hand.

In reality megamillion numbers the odds are slim to win the mega millions but when it gets big like this we all throw a few bucks in and hope for the best. You can take your tiny odds and tiny odds get multiplied by a tiny bit hopefully.

The prize of lotterywas increased slightly on Tuesday morning from a $ 449 million prize that was reached after no winner was selected for Friday night. The jackpot was the largest since $429.6 million Powerball prize won by a New Jersey family on may 7.
