Mega Millions Tops $1 Billion For Friday Drawing

The Mega Millions website crashed on Tuesday due to the huge jackpot. The next drawing on Friday will bring the prize to $1.025 billion. In Mega millions' 20-year history, the jackpots have only been eclipsed twice.

Mega Millions is available in 45 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is not available on the Jackpocket Lottery app. Jack pocket is the official lottery partner of several professional sports teams, including Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies, Texas Rangers and Minnesota Twins.

Mega Millions Tops $1 billion for Friday's drawing. Financial advisers advise lottery winners to keep a low profile and get professional help.  Steve Azoury Financial in Troy, Michigan, recommends getting a tax attorney, tax accountant and financial adviser.
