August 6, 2021 was the start to a bittersweet weekend for many. The Olympic Games in Tokyo entered the home stretch, and parents across the U.S. started engaging in the annual ritual that is “Back to School” shopping. In some places, school has already started back up. As people dashed on the field and through the stores, Mega Millions dashed over the $200 million line!
