Mega Millions played a dangerous game Friday night. With Powerball’s billion-dollar jackpot having been brought down to size, Mega Millions’ turn would come soon enough. However, this lottery was determined not to go down, not without a fight, anyhow! With the help of not one but two encores, the jackpot grew to $820 million.
