“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
We’ve all heard this saying. A bit cliché, but it drives the point home. When you fall, you got to get back up and give it another go. This saying also applies to a certain lottery that’s been stuck in a rut lately.
After watching the jackpot fall, then rise, and then fall again, Mega Millions was determined to get it rising again. And rise it did! Nothing, and no one, could stop the prize from jumping to $31 million.
