Mega Millions prize passes half-a-billion, could set new lottery record
Christmas could come early for one lucky winner this year if they scoop more than half-a-billion dollars in prize money up for grabs in Tuesdays Mega Millions jackpot.
A last-minute ticket buying frenzy saw the prize swell to $586 million on Monday, and Virginias lottery director Paula Otto told Reuters she expected another spike in sales before Tuesdays 11 p.m. ET draw.
"We've never had a jackpot this high the week before Christmas," Otto told Reuters. "You like to see winners and you like to see big jackpots. I leave it in the hands of the bouncing balls.

I'll buy a few tickets. It can't hurt right? :dunno: Now that they have added extra numbers, I just don't see anyone winning... :sigh:
