UNITED STATES – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Even though there was no jackpot winner in Friday's Mega Millions drawing, a lot of players still walked away winners. With nine different ways to win, a total of 565,641 tickets won prizes in the May 4 drawing. Since no ticket matched all six numbers to take home the jackpot, that jackpot grows to an estimated $96 million for the Tuesday, May 8, 2007 drawing.
