TICKET. I THINK IT’S EXCITING TO PLAY WHENEVER IT’S A BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY AND MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY AT $893 MILLION. I GUESS I LIKE THE EXCITEMENT OF JUST WATCHING TO SEE SEE THE ADRENALINE HOPING. AND THIS TIME IT’S NOT JUST THE MEGA MILLIONS, BUT THE POWERBALL JACKPOT IS ALSO CLIMBING UP TO 687 MILLION. LOTTERY OFFICIALS SAY HAVING TWO BIG JACKPOTS AT THE SAME TIME IS RARE. IT’S FUN ENOUGH WHEN IT’S ONE THAT’S THAT’S UP THERE LIKE THIS, BUT TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM ROLLING ALONG IS REALLY SPECIAL. AND IT CERTAINLY CAPTURES EVERYBODY’S ATTENTION. IT BECOMES THAT THING THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE PART OF. SO PEOPLE ARE MAYBE WHO DON’T PLAY LOTTERY GAMES ALL THAT OFTEN, WILL DECIDE TO GO OUT AND BUY A TICKET. AT THIS POINT, WE FOUND SOME FIRST TIMERS AT THE LOTTERY LOUNGE IN THE SUNOCO ON ROUTE 40, IN CATONSVILLE. LIKE YOSEF ASSEFA HEARD IT WAS THAT BIG AND I WAS LIKE, WHY NOT JUST GO FOR IT? SO, SO MUCH MONEY? IT COULD BE A SMALL CHANCE, BUT I COULD HIT IT. MANAGERS SAY IT’S GOOD FOR BUSINESS AND THEY GET $100,000 IF THEY SELL THE WINNING TICKET. BUT IT’S ALSO GOOD FOR THE STATE. ABOUT $0.26 OUT OF EVERY DOLLAR THAT WE SELL GOES TO STATE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. SO THAT COMES OUT TO ABOUT $7.5 MILLION IN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STATE. JUST FROM THE SALE OF MEGA MILLIONS TICKETS. SINCE THE LAST TIME THE JACKPOT WAS HIT, EVERYONE WHO GETS A TICKET IS DREAMING OF WHAT THEY’D USE THE BIG MONEY FOR, AND MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER LEFT FEELING LUCKY. I DON’T DO THIS OFTEN, SO I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SOME LUCK BUILT UP. WELL, PROBABLY AFTER TALKING TO YOU I MIGHT JUST HAVE A LITTLE LUCK. YEAH
