On Friday, the Mega Millions lottery will pick the numbers for a jackpot of $1.35 billion, making it the second highest in the game’s history.
It’s possible that someone may have good fortune on Friday the 13th. For the drawing that will take place on Friday, the Mega Millions jackpot has reportedly increased to an estimated $1.35 billion, making it the second-largest in the history of the lottery.
The lottery said in a press statement on Wednesday that the jackpot has increased from $1.1 billion after the drawing held on Tuesday night ended with no winner taking home the huge reward.
According to the lottery’s website, the record jackpot of $1.537 billion, which was won in South Carolina in 2018, is the only thing that tops the lottery’s anticipated prize of $707.9 million in cash.
The lottery announced that the Mega Millions jackpot has reached $1.35 billion, making it the second-greatest payout in the game’s history. “The Mega Millions jackpot is rising up and creating history as the second highest Mega Millions jackpot ever,” the lottery stated. “The cash raised by our member lotteries is donated to a wide variety of important organisations, ranging from educational initiatives to environmental protection initiatives. We are pleased to provide our support to these initiatives.
The enormous prize of the Mega Millions game reached the one billion dollar milestone after there had been no winning ticket pulled for over three months.
According to the Mega Millions website, the most recent jackpot, which was worth $502 million, was won on October 14 by two winning tickets from the states of California and Florida. Since then, almost 33 million winning tickets have been sold, and the lottery has announced that 68 winners have taken home prizes of one million dollars or more.
According to the statement, there have been a total of six prior jackpots won on Friday the 13th, and four of them were in the state of Michigan. There have been more winners of prizes on Friday the 13th in the states of New York, Ohio, and Rhode Island.
There are a total of 45 states, the District of Columbia, and the US Virgin Islands that participate in the Mega Millions lottery.
After selling $2 billion worth of lottery tickets, the ‘lucky’ shop in Altadena is seeing tremendous demand for the Mega Millions drawing on Friday.
Joe Chahayed said that as the time approaches for the drawing of the Mega Millions on Friday night, he feels as like he is always hosting a party.
Chahayed, who is 75 years old, is the owner of Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, which is where a winner of a Powerball jackpot of $2.04 billion purchased their ticket two months ago.
Chahayed pointed to the island of gas tanks located outside and stated, “I came in at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, and there were people waiting in line up to there.” “Once we were all inside, I greeted everyone and asked, “Is anybody getting married?” It seemed to be a celebration. They told me it was going to be a Mega wedding.”
He said that Joe’s sold 7,500 Mega Millions tickets on January 11, and he anticipates that sales will go up on Friday, January 13, when lottery officials are expected to announce that the jackpot would be worth an estimated $1.35 billion, or $707.9 million in cash. If won, it would be the second-largest prize in the whole history of Mega Millions.
