After weeks of no grand prize winner after each drawing, the jackpot for the popular lottery game has reached a historic amount which could finally see a winner Friday.
The most talked about game in the lottery for weeks has been the Mega Millions and the game's ever-increasing jackpot after weeks of drawings that haven't yielded a grand prize winner.
Bill Coley, president of the Institute of Responsible Gaming, Lotteries and Sports at Miami University told the Associated Press that while there are many lotteries around the world, “It’s the mystiques of mathematics. You can take a nominal fee and give a chance to build a revenue stream of a billion dollars for potentially one individual. It’s pretty exciting.”
