“If you don’t like the way a lottery jackpot is trending, wait a couple of drawings.”
The above statement couldn’t be any truer for Mega Millions! This lottery endured several weeks of its jackpot resetting as fast as it rose. That changed Tuesday night when the jackpot climbed to $50 million. Things continued to trend upward for the jackpot Friday night; it rose to $67 million.
