Mega Millions jackpot hits $1B
By SCOTT McFETRIDGE
What are the odds you win the lottery? You re more likely to be struck by lightning.
NEW YORK - The jackpot for the Mega Millions lottery game has grown to $1 billion ahead of Friday night’s drawing after more than four months without a winner thanks to bad luck, poor odds and reduced play partially blamed on the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s only the third time a lottery jackpot has grown so large, but much has changed since the last time such a big prize was up for grabs in 2018. The odds of winning a jackpot remain the same incredibly small but for a variety of reasons fewer people are playing Mega Millions or Powerball, the two lottery games offered in most of the country.
