MegaMillions Jackpot is $44 Million

[Thomas]

The jackpot in Mega Millions is growing -- and there is no shortage of winners! A total of 431,974 tickets from coast to coast won prizes in the Friday, May 25, 2007 drawing. That includes three tickets that each won $250,000. Since no ticket matched all six numbers, the jackpot for the Tuesday, May 29 drawing grows to an estimated $44 million.

Those three tickets that each won $250,000 did so by matching the first five numbers and only missing the Mega Ball number. Two of those tickets were purchased in New Jersey and one in Maryland.

The winning numbers in Friday's drawing were: 10-14-22-42-43 and the Mega Ball number was 1.
