After all the hype, there was disappointment in Philadelphia, ESPECIALLY IN THE HIPHOPSINCE1987.COM HEADQUARTERS but joy in Maryland, Kansas and Illinois, where winning Mega Millions tickets were sold for the record $640-million jackpot.
According to the Associated Press, Illinois’ winning ticket was sold in the small town of Red Bud, near St. Louis. The winner used a quick pick to select the numbers, Illinois Lottery spokesman Mike Lang said. The Maryland Lottery said it sold a winning ticket at a retail store in Baltimore County. A winning ticket also was purchased in northeast Kansas, according to the Kansas Lottery website, AP said.
The winning numbers were 2-4-23-38-46, and the Mega Ball was 23.
Lottery officials had estimated that there was a 95% chance someone would win the jackpot Friday.
