Lottery Jackpots Rising All Over the World
There were no jackpot winners in either the Mega Millions game in the U.S. or the Euro MIllions game, played in 9 European countries.
So the jackpots everywhere are rising fast.
The winning numbers in the Feb. 20 Mega Millions game are 21,28,41,45,55 and the Mega ball is 24.
The jackpot now rolls to $145 million on Tuesday.
8 tickets matched 5 numbers but not the Mega ball. Each ticket is worth $250,000. They were bought in Michigan (2 winners), New Jersey (2), New York (2) and Virginia (2).
52 tickets outside of California matched 4 of 5 numbers and the Mega ball. Those tickets are each worth $10,000.
10 tickets in California matched 4 of 5 and the Mega ball. Those tickets are each worth $8,024.
Overall, there were 895,655 winning tickets winning about $5.98 million.
In Europe, no one won the Feb. 20 Euro Millions draw so next Friday’s jackpot rises to 41 million Euros, or about $52.9 million U.S.
The winning numbers are 9,12,13,14,48 and the two lucky stars are 1,2.
3 tickets matched all five numbers and one lucky star. Those tickets are each worth 1,011,120 Euros.
4 tickets matched all five numbers only. Those tickets are each worth 215,205 Euros.
100 tickets matched 4 of 5 and both lucky stars. Those tickets are each worth 6,149 Euros.
1,472 tickets matched 4 of 5 and one lucky star. Those tickets are each worth 278 Euros.
2,346 tickets matched 4 of 5 numbers and no lucky stars. Those tickets are each worth 122 Euros.
Congratulations, winners.
