April was a pretty quiet month for Mega Millions lottery jackpot wins. In fact they were nonexistent, which is why the estimated jackpot has soared to over $100 million after many rollovers. If you’re an avid player and follower of Mega Millions you’ll know the last lottery jackpot win was on Tuesday 12th March. That made one player in Ohio $41 million richer.But that doesn’t mean there weren’t any Mega Millions lottery winners during April.

In April nearly 50 ticket-holders won the handsome second prize in the lottery’s nine draws, which take place every Tuesday and Friday. They matched the first five numbers drawn but not the Mega Ball, to win $250,000 each.So where was the luckiest place to purchase a Mega Millions ticket in April? Well it was California with nine lucky ticket-holders, closely followed by New York with seven winning ticket-holders.
