All was right in Mega Millions’ world Tuesday night. How, you wonder, if the Powerball jackpot grew to $100 million earlier in the week? Even with a $100 million prize in one lottery, and just over $46 million in the other, Mega Millions was still on top. Given the trials and tribulations this lottery went through last month, the jackpot growing to $126 million was more than earned.
