You never know when Lady Luck is going to smile upon you so the important thing is to keep playing. Even though it will take a while until a jackpot of this magnitude accumulates again, one should be relentless in the quest to win. There is no other way. Sure, many will claim to have found strategies that actually work and help them win enormous amounts of money, but the lotteries just don’t work that way.

Meanwhile, the Mega Millions draw was a lot poorer in winners. Nobody managed to win the big jackpot and only 1 ticket sold in California managed to get the second prize and should receive $250,000.
