Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season! It’s hard to believe, but 2020 is almost over! Before we can finally cast this year out to the wolves, we must endure a few more days.

Mega Millions and holiday specials helped make Christmas 2020 more bearable. Classics galore provided the on-screen entertainment while the lottery went to work enticing players far and wide with the possibility of becoming crazy-rich. Hundreds of millions of dollars awaited anyone who could capture the beastly jackpot. The beast got away and grew to $376 million.
