The Mega Millions Jackpot hit $1.28 billion Friday afternoon before the drawing at 10 p.m. Many North Texans stopped by convenience stores to buy the $2 tickets in hopes of getting the top prize.
"I just bought five - and I've never bought one of these in my life. But right when i got out of my car and walked in here I look down and there was a penny heads up, so that's good luck. So I know I'm going to win," said ticket buyer Linda Garner.
"Contribute to non-profits and other institutions that are helping individuals, and of course take care of my family as well and never have to work for anybody ever again, so that's the plan," said ticket buyer Shir Shore. However, the odds are not in your favor; as a local mathematician explains, it's one-in-302 million chance.
