News from across the pond reaches LottoCentral HQ informing us that Lottery fever is upon us during the holiday season with the Mega Millions jackpot rising to quite an acceptable number . After Friday night’s $425 million jackpot was not won as no ticket holder matched the six main numbers it was predicted that the jackpot for the next Mega Millions draw on Tuesday 17th December 2013 would be an estimated $550 million .
Whilst this sum is not the record amount won ( the record Mega Millions jackpot being $656 million set in 2012 ) it has drawn much attention , so much so that today the estimated jackpot was revised to a staggering $586 million.
Lottery organisers have indicated that the estimate may be revised upward again on Tuesday morning due to firstly increased ticket sales and secondly the fact that Lottery players tend to buy their tickets on the actual day of the Lottery draw.
The Mega Millions organisers expect that between 65 and 75 percent of the 259 million possible number combinations will be in play when the Mega Millions numbers are drawn .
The LottoCentral team are watching this one closely and consider it definitely worth a “punt” . Our recommended agent for purchasing Mega Millions tickets outside the USA are the guys at The Lotter – a well run Lottery agency.
Good luck everyone !!
