Unbelievable. I bought 20 plays, and got 0/0 on all 20 lines.

Hmm. That is pretty improbable. Someone run the numbers.

I ran them. The probability of not getting a single number right out of 20 lines is 0.00392. You got screwed.

California system problem delays reporting of matching ticket data from that state

Ohio Lottery spokeswoman Mardele Cohen says New Jersey and Georgia told the state they sold one winning ticket each for the U.S. record $370 million jackpot.

She says the other states call in their results because Ohio balances the books in the 12-state game.

Because of a system problem, results from California are not yet in.

Meanwhile, Ohio Lottery officials will be reviewing the system today to find out what caused sales for the game to crash in the state about 25 minutes before the deadline for placing wagers.

Cohen says lottery officials apologize to anyone who wasn't able to buy a ticket.

The winning numbers were 16-22-29-39-42, and the Mega Ball was 20.

At least two people woke up Wednesday well on their way to becoming millionaires. Winning tickets were purchased in New Jersey and Georgia for the record $370 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, and there could be others in California, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery said Wednesday.
