After having been delayed for a year, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics kicked off July 23, 2021. Even without a massive gathering of spectators, the opening ceremony was still a sight to behold. The event appeared low-key on the surface, but under the surface was energy and quirkiness.
Mega Millions took a similar approach Friday night. Although the drawing didn’t come with an Australia Play encore, the jackpot rose all the same! More specifically, it rose to $153 million.
