One lucky American could become an overnight billionaire tomorrow…
The upcoming Mega Millions jackpot is predicted to be the biggest lottery in history as its grand prize rounds out to around 1.55 billion. Yes. Billion. This new number crushed the previous prize amount of 1.537 billion dollars which was won in October 2018 down in South Carolina.
It’s hard to even fathom the amount of money that could be won with this jackpot. The possibilities are endless. You could buy a private island, a fleet of luxury cars, or even your own private jet. With 1.55 billion dollars, the world is your oyster.
As the anticipation builds for the next drawing on Tuesday, August 8th, let’s take a closer look at the $2 ticket that could potentially change your life forever.
Tickets are available at any lottery retailer and the rules are simple: pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. You can choose Easy Pick or Quick Pick to have the terminal randomly pick numbers for you. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in the drawing.
The Mega Millions jackpot has been rising since April, and with no winners in sight, the prize money keeps growing. But don’t let the numbers fool you. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350. That’s less than one percent. But as the old saying goes, you can’t win if you don’t play.
So go ahead, take a chance. Buy a ticket. And who knows? You just might be the lucky winner of the largest lottery jackpot in history. But even if you don’t win, remember that hope is a powerful thing. And who knows where it could lead you.
