Mass Lottery Mega MillionsMass Lottery and Mega Millions Winning Numbers from last night August 25, 2009. The Mega Millions Winning Numbers prompted state lottery websites to crash last night. Last night’s draw was the third largest in U.S. history: $252 million. The Mega Millions winning lottery numbers : 3, 12, 19, 22 and 40 with the Mega Ball, 2. Additionally, that Powerball last week that went for $260 million yielded one winner - Solomon Jackson Jr., a former South Carolina state employee. Solomon was already enjoying retirement. Now Solomon will REALLY be enjoying retirement.
A rep for the New Jersey told press last night before the draw:
“With jackpots of this size, you start to see people who don’t normally play a game like Mega Millions buying a ticket. They may notice it’s over 100 million, and they’ll say, ‘OK, I’ll take a shot at it.’”
A Georgia official additional said the following:
“Whenever we have a large jackpot, there is always excitement across the state and that translates into additional dollars for the educational programs we fund.”
