After the recent Lottery based excitement across the pond concerning the giant Powerball Lottery the LottoPlan team notice that the US Mega Millions Lottery jackpot isn’t looking too shabby either !

The third largest MegaMillions jackpot will be on offer in the next draw on Tuesday 25th February with an estimated $195 million prize up for grabs . The estimated cash option for the forthcoming draw is $107 million.

The estimated $195 million jackpot occurs because in the last MegaMillions draw on Friday night no ticket holders matched the five main numbers and the Megaball.

Two lucky ticket holders from Pennsylvania and Virginia did match the five main numbers but did not have the Megaball – both ticket holders won $1 million , a nice consolation prize !

The winning numbers from Friday night’s MegaMillions draw were – 23-29-32-45-46 , the Megaball was 15.

The record MegaMillions jackpot is $656 million set on 30th March 2012 , Tuesday’s estimated jackpot is still well short of the record but surely worth consideration.
