Someone in Texas Woke Up $3 Million Richer on Saturday Morning

Friday night's Mega Millions drawing featured a jackpot of $334 million. No one matched all six numbers (25-28-42-64-69...19). That will make the big payout for Tuesday's drawing worth $361 million, or about $169 million for the lump sum cash payout.

By the way, that's enough money to buy a $75,000 vehicle every day for over six years.

Wow, trying to figure out which car, truck, or SUV you'll buy over 2,200+ days. Who needs that kind of pressure?

I mean, I could figure out how to live with the stress if someone gave me the money.

Three New Millionaires

Even though the latest Mega Millions drawing didn't produce a winner who could buy out the inventory from numerous car dealerships, three folks did match all five of the non-Mega Ball numbers. Each of those tickets is worth $1 million.

Michigan, Connecticut, and Texas are where those winning tickets were sold. The winner in Michigan did not spend the extra buck to Mega-ply their payout, but the winners from the other two states did.

Texas Winner Triples Their Payout

The winning ticket was purchased at this El Rio Grande Latin Market on the south side of Fort Worth. Last night's Megaplier number was 3, and since the Texas winner DID opt in for the extra dollar, he or she won $3 million.

That's ONLY enough for a new $75,000 vehicle for 40 straight days...so, sacrifices will need to be made.

Upcoming Jackpot Drawings

As mentioned earlier, the next Mega Millions drawing will be on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, the next Powerball drawing happens tonight (Nov 9). That jackpot has now risen to $92 million.
