The Mega Millions Jackpot for tonight’s drawing is $818 million, the fourth largest jackpot of all time. But, is is really worth the $2.00 for a ticket? What?? Well… not really. Your chances of winning are extremely slim. You have better odds of being struck by lightning at just over one in a million; being in a plane crash at 1 in a 11 million, and that’s even if you don’t take a flight. Being killed by a meteor impact, is 1 in 350 thousand; or getting eaten by shark is 1 in 7 million. Winning the lotters.. 1 in 12.6 million.
So, is it worth it? As Jim Carrey once said:
No one has matched all the numbers since April. That means when I win it tonight, I have to choose between 30 annual payments of $27 million or a lump sum of $470 million. Tough decision, but I’m taking the cash now!!
