Mega Millions

One lucky lottery player from California can lay claims to a $133 million jackpot.

The winning ticket for Friday Night's Mega Millions drawing was purchased in Long Beach, California.

The winning numbers were: 11, 31, 34, 44, and 52, with the Mega Ball 32. The Texas Megaplier was 4.

Also, 7 lucky players came very close to winning it all, matching the first 5 numbers for a $250,000 prize: 1 from Illinois, 1 from Maryland, 1 from Michigan, 1 from Minnesota, 2 from New Jersey, and 1 from New York.

41 players matched four of five numbers plus the Mega Ball to net a prize of $10,000.  Three of those third-prize winners were from California and will take home $29,038 each, because California's pari-mutuel payout system splits the available prize money by the number of winners. The fewer winners, the greater the prize.

The jackpot for the next Mega Millions drawing, on Tuesday night, resets to $12 million.

$1,000,000.00 [before 35% fed tax deduction] is enough?  Enough for what?  It's, not enough for someone under 80 years old; not even if the net was $1,000,000.00 (which it isn't in your example)! Blush

I have prayed that God will bless the winner or winners so that he or she can live a peaceful, happy and long life.

A day or two after it was announced that the winning ticket was sold in Long Beach, there was news of a fire in a residential home involving two elderly people in Long Beach. I kid you not, I awoke in the middle of the night (sweating) with a six sense that these elderly people were somehow connected to the winning numbers. It's an uncanny feeling that I cannot seem to shake. [Perhaps unconsciously I am thinking of the lottery winner in Florida who was [allegedly] murdered by that woman for the cash money.]

I cannot explain why I sometime know things without any credible explanation but far too often I do. Sometimes I see things (or feel it) before it happens and sometimes I know things after it has happened without knowing the individuals involved or what the facts are. I just seem to know. I cannot control when and under what circumstances these visions will happen.

I have many examples of these visions that are later proven to be accurate. I have always been freaked out by this uncontrollable ability..... and have, for the most part, kept them to myself.

I am posting this message because I would like some feedback from readers.     These visions started around age 5 and I am now in my mid 40s'.  Am I a psychic?

I don't believe in Psychic's or any of that junk..If as you say you have visions you should have hit a phew million dollar jackpots along the way or cashing in on cash 3 a lot..That's my opinion and not trying to be smart just my point..

This person has already made the mistake of showing back up to the store where he bought the ticket.   From other articles I read he handed the ticket to the clerk to check the winning numbers.   I would NEVER hand over a ticket that I even thought was a winner.....Especially if it was a winner for a large jackpot.  And I absolutly wouldn't show my face in public and aknowledge I was the winner.

Right..Here in Ky they have scanners so you can check your tickets before you cash them..If you see the numbers on your ticket match the numbers on the Power Ball Site and you bought the ticket at that store where it was sold it would be smart to think you got the winner....Live and learn......Bunky the witch who won millions on MegaMillions come out at the store where he bought the ticket but wasen't messed with at all..I think they was all to scared to mess witht witch.........

Your point is well taken, and thank you for replying --- but as I said I have no control over this.  My, my, how I wish the lottery numbers would come to me.  The countless numbers of "flashes" or "vision" that I've had are innumerable.    I don't know why they happen but they do happen.

The truth is, I don't believe in psychics either.  I simply wonder, quite earnestly, if there is an explaination for these flashes..

Good luck to you in your quest for the elusive six magic 6 numbers!

Congrats to the winner and get it all to themselves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool

I can't buy a Rolls or Bentley if I only win what someone else "thinks" is all that I need ....

Let's see...  133 million dollars and 133 million winners.

Wouldn't that be a dollar a piece?

I'd rather have moonbats.

As long as they don't get tangled up in my beard.

I, for one, wouldn't mind haveing even the net  % of a million dollar win.  How do I know?   because even though I play Super Lotto Plus,  fantasy five is my favorite.  $50k is the minimum payout for the jackpot--far from 1million.  I will win Fantasy Five someday.  And will be truly happy.  And yet I still play SLP regularly.  I love getting any winners.  I truly do.  But $1million will be life changing for my current "needs" and I am nowhere near 80 years old.

Congradulations to my fellow Californian, whoever you are!  It definately isnt me because I don't play MM.  Summoning Powerball to CA!!!!
