It appears there was [one winner in last night’s drawing](http://www.megamillions.com/numbers/)in the state of New York.

If you are in New York and bought a ticket, now would be the time to check it.

What are these “multiple states” that you speak of? I’ve never bought a lottery ticket in my life.  
ETA: Wow, 42 states?? I had no idea this was even going on. 😛

Well, I bought two tickets last night. One for the girlfriend and one for me.

She won $10 and gave me $5. Net gain!

I never buy them. I hadn’t even heard about this one until now.
