Mass Lottery Mega Millions

Mass Lottery Mega Millions

Mass 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.”

Mary Jo Kopechne

Mary Jo Kopechne

Mary Jo Kopechne was a schoolteacher, secretary, and political campaign worker, who was killed one night forty years ago, in an automobile accident on Chappaquiddick Island at Martha's Vineyard. The driver, a prominent United States senator, claimed to have made several attempts to save her, but did not report the accident until the next morning, when the car and the body were found. The senator pleaded guilty to "leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury." He received a two month suspended sentence. The Kopechne family has never commented publicly on the incident.

The senator went on to a distinguished career in politics, but for a failed attempt at nomination to run for the Presidency. He died early this morning, after a long battle with cancer. The woman who was never able to live as full or as long a life as he, and whose family received little if any justice, can finally rest in peace.

May God have mercy on that senator. May God have mercy on us all.
