The latest haul up for grabs is a $940 million Mega Millions jackpot, with a drawing set for Friday night. The prize ranks as the sixth largest in U.S. history.
“It’s thrilling to see the Mega Millions jackpot grow throughout the holidays, and now, into the New Year," said Pat McDonald, the director of the Ohio Lottery who also leads the state lotteries overseeing the Mega Millions game.
The idea was that by making jackpots less common, ticket revenue could build up week after week, creating giant prizes that would attract attention and pull in more players who had grown blasé about $100 million or $200 million top prizes., which enabled the jackpot to roll over and grow even more quickly as people had more chances to play, and lose. Mega Millions has stuck with the two weekly drawings.Of course, those uber-rich winners aren’t quite as wealthy as it would seem..
“I might not be able to use for very long, given my age,” she said. “But who knows, I might live to be 100. You have to dream a little.” “Then I would get down on my knees and ask God to lead me to the people who really need help,” he said. “They say money is the root of all evil but it is really the person who has the money, what kind of person they are and what they do with it.”
