Someone is going to be rich soon, filthy stinkin’ rich.
Many people across the nation flocked to stores last week to pick up a Mega Millions ticket for Friday’s drawing, in hopes that they had the golden ticket, one that would turn regular folks into multi-millionaires.
The jackpot was $290 million prize.
Friday, the numbers were drawn: 6, 17, 19, 20, 21 with a Mega number 20. But those were not anyone’s lucky numbers on Friday, unfortunately no one had the winning ticket.
But the good news is everyone will have a chance to play again this week with an even bigger jackpot! The Mega Millions lottery jackpot is expected to jump to $356 million for Tuesday’s drawing.
For players, there’s only a 1 in 176 million chance of winning the jackpot. But it sure would be sweet taking home the massive prize after paying only 1$ for the ticket.
According to the Mega Millions website, if someone were to win and take the prize in a lump sum, instead of over 20 years, the cash payoff would by $255.1 million. This week, the winner could be taking home more than the last Mega Millions winner; 81-year-old Rhode Island resident Louise White who took home $210 million.
The last record was set after two people, one from Idaho and the other from Washington state, split $240 million on Jan. 4, 2011, drawing and split by two winners, in Idaho and Washington State.
