On September 30, 2008, Jimmie Cramer won $250,000 in Mega Millions with Texas Lottery. Jim's winning lotto ticket matched the first five numbers, but he missed the big jackpot because he did not match the Mega ball. But hey, $250,000 is not bad at all!
The Mega Millions jackpot has odds of 1-in-175-million. The prize that Jimmie won was the second prize, which has odds of 1-in-3.9-million. With Mega Millions, players must choose five numbers from 1 to 56 and a mega number from 1 to 46. All numbers must match to win the grand prize jackpot. It costs $1 for each ticket played.
Congratulations to Jimmie Cramer on his lucky win!
