Time to check those tickets and check them twice because New England has a brand spanking new billionaire!

Friday night’s winning numbers were 30-43-45-46-61 with a Mega Ball of 14.

The odds to win were 1 in 302.6 million but someone in MAINE defied the odds.

“Congratulations to the Maine State Lottery, which has just won its first-ever Mega Millions jackpot," Pat McDonald, Ohio lottery director and lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium, said in a statement.

Maine gets it's first ever jackpot winner and it's a big one, the second biggest in history to be exact. Time to call your friends and family in Maine! And if they won, let them pick up the check for breakfast next time.

Since you didn't win, let's give YOU a little fun. Look up your birth year and reveal YOUR future:

Music can conjure up memories, change your mood, and move you to dance. It's medicine when needed and it's a lovely distraction to a long commute. But can a song tell your future? Find the #1 song in your birth year and perhaps it will reveal how your 2023 will go. You can read into or not...just for fun.

Because there is only so much time in a day, the list here will date back to 1955. The list is based on Billboard's country charts and Country 1025 airplay (from our birth year of 1993).
