Mega Millions winning numbers drawn for $785 million jackpot
This would be the largest lottery jackpot won since that $2 billion Powerball jackpot won in November.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The winning numbers for Tuesday night's $785 million Mega Millions jackpot have been drawn.
Here are the winning numbers: 41, 33, 25,44, 29, with a Mega Ball of 18.
Since there was no Mega Millions winner, the jackpot for the Friday drawing is now up to $940 million, with a $483.5 million cash option.
A big jackpot means big dreams, especially for Christina Miele of Mount Ephraim, New Jersey.
"I would buy a giant home, like a castle and have all my children and grandchildren live with me," she said.
Many people say they'd share the money with their families, but they'd also take a sweet vacation.
"I'd be in the Caribbean for a while," said Brian Hagan of Gloucester City.
This is the sixth largest jackpot in U.S. history, and there hasn't been a Mega Millions winner in more than two months -- driving the jackpot up higher and higher.
This would be the largest lottery jackpot won since that $2 billion Powerball jackpot won in November. The winning ticket was sold in California.
Lottery retailers like Saeed Ahmed at the 7-Eleven in Mount Ephraim say big prizes like that affect when some people come in to play.
"Last time it went up above $1 billion and it was very busy. I was telling my friend that now people are interested in billions, not hundreds of millions," said Ahmed.
