When people think of a lottery jackpot, they usually think of all they could do with the newfound wealth. Although it's not lottery-related, the recently announced Forbes List of Billionaires is a humbling picture of truly enormous wealth. One thing I found interesting: you'll notice Bill Gates and Paul Allen, co-founders of Microsoft, at #1 and #4, but catching up is Steve Ballmer, new CEO of Microsoft, at #21.

Yahoo! is carrying a news release about the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, H.R. 3125 which would make it illegal for individuals to place a bet over the Internet. Sounds to me like another example of trying to regulate the internet - which is always dangerous since it surely wouldn't stop there.

There was no jackpot winner in the Tuesday drawing, so the jackpot is now up to $46 million. Check out the Winning Combinations page to see how many people won each of the other prizes.
A lot fewer people won a prize this week, probably because many people use birthdays and other dates to pick their numbers. (Four out of the six numbers were greater than 31 in this drawing.) Maybe they should've used a sampling of the top-drawn numbers on our Stats page.
