In a rare occasion, lottery tickets sales for the Mega Millions Lottery have caused a Mega Millions jackpot increase. Earlier in the week we talked about the Mega Millions rollover, with just under $200 million up for grabs but that draw rolled over. That meant a jackpot of more like around $237 million, however an increase to the Mega Millions Lottery jackpot means that players in tonight’s Mega Millions Lottery draw will have a staggering $242 million to play for.
Many Mega Millions Lottery players choose the cash option on the Mega Millions Lottery, allowing them to receive all of their winnings in one lump sum. Should you be the only winning ticketholder for tonight’s draw, you could collect $150.8 million in cash. However, this Mega Millions Lottery jackpot winner might want to choose the annuity option, especially as on this jackpot it’s almost $10 million, every year for 26 years.
Lottery fever is sweeping the states, evident from this brisk sale in lottery tickets. Tweeters are taking to their Twitter accounts in the hundreds and all claiming their Mega Millions tickets are the winners. It’s not just in the US this lottery has attracted attention either, it’s by far the world’s biggest lottery jackpot right now and that makes it worldwide lottery news. So will this lottery jackpot finally see a winner this weekend? Who knows, but we’ll be waiting eagerly for the Mega Millions Lottery results after tonight’s draw to see whether this world lottery jackpot will be growing again.
