The 252 million U.S. dollars Mega Millions jackpot numbers were drawn in the middle of lottery fever throughout the country.

The winning Mega Millions lottery numbers were: 3, 12, 19, 22 and 40 and Mega Ball 2.

The lottery prize has drawn unusually high in the players in each of the 12 participating states as people dream of getting rich off your investment of $ 1.

"With boats of this size, you start to see people who do not normally play a game like Mega Millions buy a ticket," said Dominick DeMarco, a spokesman for New Jersey Lottery. "It may be noted that more than 100 million dollars and say, 'Well, I'll take a picture in it."

The publicity of the big prizes of local newspapers and signs of suppliers contribute to the lottery to the attention of new players, he said.

This had led to more players and more to pick up tickets.

Moreover, it does not hurt that a retired employee of the state of South Carolina won the Powerball jackpot of 260 million U.S. dollars last week. Solomon Jackson Jr., of Columbia, SC, were announced yesterday afternoon as the sole winner of the lottery.

In Massachusetts, lottery officials said 3300 tickets a minute are sold statewide during peak hours. Yes, 3,300 entries every 60 seconds.

In Georgia, the lottery expects 6 million Mega Millions tickets will be sold that to this work. That compares with 1.2 million sales on Tuesday at the start of a race boat before.

In the 2 hours pm only, 255,000 tickets sold in Georgia. That's about 4,250 a minute, and ticket sales tend to increase in the outside working hours.

"Whenever we have a big jackpot, there's always excitement around the state and that translates into additional dollars for education programs we fund," said Tandi Reddick, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Lottery.
