This has truly been a Mega Millions summer! As July starts to make way for August, we’re faced with unusually hot weather (stay hydrated and cool, folks), and a lottery jackpot that continues to thrive. For three months, the Mega Millions jackpot has been fed a diet of the “right” Patterns and watered with the (figurative) tears of many a player whose dreams of being a multimillionaire have been deferred. Mega Millions received another helping of Jackpot Gro (patent pending) Tuesday night, giving the prize a $100 million boost. Yes, the jackpot grew from $530 million to $630 million!
