The lottery is one of those things where we know its never going to happen, but for whatever reason most just can’t keep away, hoping the day would come where they win the jackpot . After the sixth drawing without a winner the Mega Millions jackpot will be at $55 million for tuesday’s drawing. Though buying a ticket is almost the same as throwing a couple of dollars into the trash, buying into the dream even for a little bit makes it worth it for a lot of people. If you are lucky enough to win though, you’ll walk away with $31 million if you choose to take it in a lump sum.
This past May, there was one week in which the Mega Millions and the Powerball national lotteries were both numbered in the nine digit range. Then on May 20, one person matched all 6 numbers on the Mega Million to win a mind boggling $149 million dollars. It is starting to look like the Mega Millions will break the $100 million barrier once again. The Powerball is currently at 221 million. Be warned though the official Powerball site has the odds set at 1 to 175,223,510.
The Mega Millions company still does not know who won the fortune three weeks ago. They announced that the ticket was bought at White Oak Gas & Grocery, 1100 Fawcett Ave., McKeesport, Allegheny County and that the store received $100,000 as a reward for selling the winning ticket. The actual winning ticket owner has yet to step forward though to claim his or her prize.
So if you’re feeling particularly lucky by a ticket or two. There’s almost always a guarantee that you’ll lose, but hey you got to be in it to win it. In the mean time enjoy day dreaming about what you’re going to blow your millions on. Maybe a new house? A new car? The trip of a life time? Whatever you decide on, spending your loot will be easy. It’s winning it that’s the hard part. But “Hey, you never know”!
