Colorado Has a New Mega Millions Millionaire – How Much?

Here comes that feeling again, "I should have bought a ticket," as word has it that someone in Colorado cashed in with that big $1 billion+ Megamillions drawing.

Somebody got pretty lucky on March 26, 2024, with that huge Mega Millions drawing; not as lucky as the person or persons who bought the winning ticket in New Jersey, but still.. pretty lucky.

You may have been trying to get a piece of that $1.13 billion, whether by buying tickets on your own or pooling with friends; but, alas, here you are with nothing but losing numbers.

It can be very frustrating, especially when you hear that someone in Colorado did cash in. On the bright side, for us, is that it wasn't an "Earthshattering" amount. That would have only added to our jealousy.

Do you seek out places that have had a winning ticket bought there, or do you mark them off your list (lightening won't strike twice?)  A lot of folks fall under the former; that place is now a "lucky" spot to buy tickets.

What Were the Winning Jackpot Numbers?

7-11-22-29-38 with Mega Ball 4.  Those first two numbers seem lucky, already: 7 and 11. I need to remember that. But, then again, will lightening strike twice?
