2 winning tickets sold in Mega Millions $355M jackpot
At least two people are waking up to find themselves millions of dollars richer, according to the Detroit Free Press.
The holders of a ticket sold in Idaho and another in Washington state will be sharing Mega Millions' $355 million jackpot from Tuesday night's drawing, lottery officials told the Free Press.
That's bad news for the many Washtenaw County residents who headed to gas stations and convenience stores to try their luck in the mega-jackpot.
The odds of winning were 1 in 176 million — a figure that didn't deter local buyers from trying to get their piece of the 41-state lottery prize.
Ann Arbor area businesses that sell lotto tickets reported seeing sales three to six times the usual volume on Tuesday.
So what are the winning Mega-Millions numbers? 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with 42 being the "Mega ball" number.

If that silver M&M was worth $350 million then yes I would. But how do you walk out on the field without smooching all the M&Ms in your path???

Assume that ONE M&M was painted silver and mixed into the M&Ms that covered 3 adjacent football fields that had been completely covered with M&Ms. Then assume that a lottery company allowed you to pay $1 to walk out into those 3 huge fields blindfolded to pick up only one M&M with a tweezerthe silver one. Would you do it, or would you rather keep your dollar?
