Did Anyone in Louisiana Win Mega Millions Jackpot?

Again there is no winner for the top jackpot in the Mega Millions drawing from Tuesday night. This whopper of a jackpot will now top the $1 billion dollar mark. The Mega Millions has climbed to $1.02 billion dollars with the lump sum cash option at $602.5 million.

It is the 4th largest lottery jackpot ever in the United States. But it will likely surpass the 3rd highest jackpot of $1.05 billion Mega Millions which was won in January of 2021.

There were 9 tickets matching 5 numbers in the drawing. They are each worth $1 million except for one purchased in Ohio that had the multiplier and is worth $3 million. The other $1 million dollar tickets were purchased in California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey (2), Ohio and New York (2).

I will continue hunting for some big ticket items, including cars, exotic vacation houses and so much more. A girl can dream.
