Mega Millions didn’t make things easy for all who dared to play May 7, 2021. Its prize certainly wouldn’t be the largest of The Big Three if just anyone could win the prize just like that! How large is that prize now?
Three hundred and ninety-six million dollars.
That’s $396,000,000. That’s crazy-rich levels of wealth, the coveted “Screw you!” money. The dream of having that kind of wealth, to pay off debts and have real control over your life (provided you handle that level of wealth wisely) is what attracts people to Mega Millions and its kin. And even though that mighty oak of a prize stands tall and strong, more people still are going to go for it next week.
As there’s no lemonade or sweet tea on tap, let’s take a closer look at Friday night’s results in the shade of that mighty oak of a lottery.
