Two lucky punters , one in Florida and one in Maryland are smiling ( and probably double checking their tickets ) this morning as Lottery organisers inform us that the $400 million Mega Millions Lottery jackpot was won last night with two winning tickets  , one purchased in Florida , the other in Maryland.

The winning numbers from Tuesday’s draw were  11-19-24-33-51 with a Megaball of 7

The jackpot was the sixth largest lottery prize in U.S. history and the third highest in the Megamillions game.

The lucky winning tickets were purchased in Merritt Island ,Florida and Charles County, Maryland  – meanwhile disappointed Lottery players in LottoPlan HQ  in Swindon , Wiltshire , England were thinking ” ah well, there’s always the Euromillions on Friday night…… ” !
