Jackpot gets near half a billion dollars
This Friday is the biggest lottery day ever, with Mega Millions reaching a record sum of $476 million, a hefty sum which will attract millions of punters across several states.
To make things better, it has been forecast that the wagering frenzy around the jackpot could well push it even higher. To illustrate that, they pointed out that the lump-sum cash option of Friday's jackpot has increased by $81.6 million from Tuesday, reaching $341.4 million.
The reason why the jackpot reached this unprecedented sum lies in another record - 18 consecutive drawings without a top-prize winner.
