Mega Millions jackpot reaches $1.35 billion

[MrDawn]

Who else is playing!? It's up to a billion now.

I went out and bought 4 tickets just now. I probably won't win but it's worth a try right?

The Mega Millions prize has grown again to an estimated $1.35 billion after there was no winner of the lottery’s latest giant jackpot.

The numbers drawn late Tuesday night were: 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and gold Mega Ball 9.

The new jackpot drawing on Friday night will be another milestone in the game, Mega Millions said in a statement early Wednesday.

“Now at $1.35 billion, the Mega Millions jackpot is moving up and making history as the second highest Mega Millions jackpot ever,” Pat McDonald, Ohio lottery director and lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium, said in the statement.

The estimated $1.35 billion jackpot prize would only be distributed to a winner who chooses an annuity paid over 29 years. Nearly all jackpot winners take a cash payout, which for Friday night’s drawing is an estimated $707.9 million.

About 2-3 people will divide the jackpot, so I'll pass.

I'm thinking about grabbing a few more. I really want to win. Be an easy retirement if I do.

I stopped playing because I never win anything and I just resent spending the money. Wouldn't mind a billion...

I can't say I'm surprised. I lost again. Better luck next time I guess.

If anyone on here wins, please share it out amongst us! I couldn't even fathom what I would do with that amount of money, it's absolutely ridiculous!
