Are You Playing Mega Millions?

It’s the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history: an estimated $540 million, with a $389 million cash value.

And millions of Americans are lining up for a chance to win it, indulging in daydreams of what they'd do with the cash in the process. 

Mega Millions is played in 42 states plus the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. Statistically speaking, you have a 1 in 176 million chance of guessing all the numbers, or 1 in 3.8 million for just the 5 numbers. But California residents have been lucky in the past—or maybe they just play more?—winning the Mega Millions drawing 11 times since its inception in 2002.

To see if you've drawn the lucky numbers, log in to www.megamillions.com/numbers Friday at 8 p.m. or call 1-800-LOTTERY.

Interestingly, there is also a 1-800 line for compulsive gamblers too...just in case you find yourself buying tickets again and again and again.

So, have you bought yours yet? And what’s the luckiest place in Napa to get it?
