mega millions

Here is what is known about the winners of the third-highest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

A little over a month ago, $1.33 billion, the third-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, was won by someone who purchased their Mega Millions ticket right here in Illinois at a Speedway gas station in Des Plaines. When you look at that kind of money, you wonder why the winner has not announced themselves to lottery officials yet.

It's been a month, and no one has come forward to claim the $1.3 billion jackpot from July's Mega Millions Drawing... so what happens to that money if no one claims it?

If you happened to buy a lottery ticket from a certain Illinois convenience store, you might be nearly a billionaire now and not even now it.

We saw the fifth highest jackpot in Illinois history last week. No winner means that we will get the third highest jackpot in Illinois history this week.

MegaMillions had to suspend payouts after its TV host called a wrong number, the jackpot was worth $86M.

So this is interesting. Remember when the Mega Millions jackpot hit $1.6 billion in October? The winner has yet to step forward. What does this mean?

Once again we are gripped with lottery fever because tonight's 42-state Mega Millions jackpot is a staggering $363 million, the third largest in the history of the game. Just so you know, the odds of winning tonight's jackpot is 1 in 176 million. I was at a Thornton's in Henderson a little while ago and it took forever to pay for gas because of the people buying their Mega Millions tickets. Read M
