MEGA MILLIONS, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though there was no jackpot
winner in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing, a lot of players still walked
away winners. With nine different ways to win, a total of 338,155 tickets
won prizes in the October 3 drawing. That includes four tickets that each
won $250,000. Since no ticket matched all six numbers to take home the $15
million jackpot, that jackpot grows to an estimated $25 million for the
Friday, October 6, 2006 drawing.

prizes. Prize amounts in California will differ from the fixed prize
amounts shown here. Go to http://www.calottery.com/games/megamillions for
the California Lottery Web site and prize amounts.
Pari-mutuel prizes means that prize amounts vary with the number of
tickets sold and the number of winning tickets in each prize category.
The four tickets that each won $250,000 did so by matching the first
five numbers and only missing the Mega Ball number. Those tickets were
purchased in Michigan, New Jersey (2) and New York.
