Mega Millions Winners Only Take Second As Jackpot Climbs To 145 Million

Despite showing 6 second place winners, the Mega Millions lottery continues to climb as no one in Friday nignt’s drawing matched all six numbers. The large US multi-state lottery which started some 38 years ago, now shows an estimated jackpot of $145M, with a $91.8M cash option for next Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing.

December 17th numbers were 11-20-26-46-53. The Mega Ball number was 12 and the Megaplier was 4. The second place winners will take home an estimated $250,000. Second place winners are from Kansas, Massachusetts, New York and Washington. Two placed second in New Jersey.

Lottery sales have been lagging since the recession started two years ago. Smaller jackpots generated less interest in the lottery, even as some states, like Colorado, joined the lottery drawing. Recent Michigan drawings, held on October 29 and November 6 yielded the state’s first Powerball winner as well as Mega Millions Jackpot winner, which totalled $269.6 million.
