There could be a billion-dollar lottery winner for the second time in two weeks tonight!
The Mega Millions multi-state lottery has rolled over to $1.05 Billion for tonight’s (8/1) drawing. That’s just below the $1.08 Billion Powerball jackpot that was won by a person in California Wednesday, July 19th.
If a single person wins tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot, they can take the entire amount in Annuity payments over the next 29 years. Or, they could choose a lump-sum payout of $527.9 Million.
If you were to win millions of dollars, who would you tell first?
