I wrote this story while interning with WCYB. The Mega Millions jackpot had reached the third highest level ever at $415 million. I went to a store selling tickets to find out about people's excitement for the drawing. Several people bought tickets while I was there. The owner had even bought her own.
The Mega Millions jackpot is now at its third highest level ever. People across the country are hoping for a chance to win the $415 million jackpot.
Store owners are seeing an uptick in sales of lottery tickets.
Karen Self, co-owner of George and Sid’s in Bristol says her sales are definitely up. She has even purchased a ticket for herself.
"I am hoping to win,” she said. “I'm hoping I wake up in the morning with a big pile of money."
Self says people are also showing interest in the Powerball jackpot.
The Mega Millions winning numbers will be drawn Friday at 11 p.m. You have until 10:45 to get a ticket.
