Do you have your Mega Millions ticket?
The grand prize for tonight’s (Friday) drawing is up to $502 Million. It’s just the fourth time in the game’s history it has eclipsed a half-billion, and the 10th-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. Powerball gave away nearly $1.6 billion in 2016.
Remarkably, the last Mega Millions winner walked away with a $451 million prize in January. (Reuters)
Fasho Thoughts:
- That much money is kind of hard to fathom.
- That’s more than triple the budget for the National Endowment for the Arts.
- I’m really tired this Friday morning. That might be enough money to buy the amount of coffee I need.
