Lottery Jackpot Hits Half Billion Dollars
Nine tickets had five winning numbers, but nobody had five and the mega number in Tuesday's regular draw.
The Mega-Millions game has a half billion-dollar jackpot for Friday night’s draw. Let that roll around on your tongue for a while. Half a billion dollars. $500 million. A whole lotta cash.
Any way you phrase it, if you win the jackpot you better learn how to say “new tax bracket.”
The big jackpot could mean instant financial security for a lucky person and a chance at some serious philanthropy.
