Down Into the Mega Millions Canyon

One month ago, a lone player from New York won a massive jackpot. On October 22, 2021, it was Arizona’s turn to produce a winner. Even though the jackpot didn’t get the chance to grow as large as it had in September, it’s highly doubtful that the $108 million prize would be turned down! As it goes, the jackpot once again reset to $20 million.
