Friday the 13th is notorious for being unlucky, but some people playing Mega Millions are hoping for the opposite. The jackpot is up to $1.35 billion, and if you take the cash option, you'll get $707.9 million. DaveCarlinTV reports.
Henry Orozco, of Queens, bought some tickets just for himself and some with others as part of a pool with coworkers."I might just disappear, buy an island," he said."My mom could get her own island," Orozco said."Yes, she can have her own island with her own beachfront," Orozco said."Well if I win, hopefully I can tell you if I'm going to be miserable or not," Washington Heights resident Kenny Zorilla said.
"I want to see at least three or four people win this big jackpot, not just one person," Downtown Brooklyn resident Scott Edmunson said."Then I'm gonna share it with my family. I'm gonna pass it around," Edmunson said. We could get a winner or winners at Friday night's drawing. The jackpot is the fourth largest lotto prize in United States history.
If there are no winners, the next drawing will take place Tuesday, and the jackpot will approach last November's record $2.04 billion Powerball prize.
