No winner of Mega Millions; Jackpot soars to more than $1 billion
NEW YORK -- No one won the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday, which has sent the jackpot soaring to more than $1 billion.
The winning numbers are: 07-29-60-63-66, Mega Ball: 15.
Two second prize tickets worth $1 million were sold in New York. One was sold at a shop on Forrest Avenue on Staten Island.
The other was sold in the upstate New York town of Corinth.
Earlier Tuesday, the line was out the door at Broadway Convenience, and customers there told CBS2's Dick Brennan they were willing to take a shot.
"On the numbers, I do win slightly sometimes, but not that often, but I'm still willing to take my chances. You never know, American dream, baby," Upper West Side resident Kathleen Livermore said.
The odds right now are something like 300 million to 1, so you've got a little chance.
"I might be part of the winners. I feel lucky. I mean, I don't need all of it," Maria Pernell, of the Upper West Side, said.
Ari Sahi, who was working behind the counter, says he loves to watch people play the numbers.
"You know, when they take the ticket, and they say, 'Wish us luck!' I like that, and I say, yeah, you should win," he said.
Anthony Maniscalco was confident in his numbers, already planning his party abroad.
"I'm going to Italy in one day, so I'll be in Italy, so when I'm in Italy ... I'm go gonna party over there in Italy when I win," he said.
He hopes he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
