One Mega Millions Ticket Wins Estimated $44 Million Jackpot

One ticket matched all six Mega Millions numbers in the Tuesday, May 29, 2007 drawing, and now players are checking their tickets to see who won the estimated $44 million jackpot. The jackpot-winning ticket, which was purchased in Henrico County, Virginia, matched the numbers 02-24-44-51-54 and the Mega Ball number 07.

But that jackpot winner was certainly not the only winning ticket in Tuesday's drawing. A total of 450,099 tickets won prizes including four tickets that each won $250,000. Those tickets were purchased in California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Texas.

The jackpot for the Friday, June 1, 2007 Mega Millions drawing is $12 million.

Mega Millions is played in 12 states: California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 PM Eastern Time, 10:00 PM Central Time and 8:00 PM Pacific Time.
