On the heels of last week’s record $365 million, Powerball Jackpot, the Mega Millions jackpot rolled over to an impressive $256 million. It appears that if the Mega Millions jackpot is not won this tuesday, February 18th, a new record, exceeding last week’s Powerball Jackpot is likely.

Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery, with 12 participating states, including California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Surely those lining up for to buy their chance of a winning ticket, hope to join last week’s Powerball winners, as newly minted millionaires.
