BERLIN, Vt. -
Some record-breaking riches are up for grabs Friday. The Mega Millions jackpot is at a world record $500 million-- the largest in history.
And there was a $250,000 Vermont Mega Millions winner on Tuesday. That winning ticket was sold at Joe's Discount Beverage in Springfield, but the lucky player has yet to come forward to collect his or her big prize.
Last week the Norton Country store in Norton sold a winning ticket for a quarter of a million dollars.
Mega Millions lottery tickets cost $1. Drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m.
How exciting!
ReplyDeleteCan't help but hope it's a local :)
How about 500 one million dollar winners instead? A million could be life changing for the average person. I believe more people would play if they knew that a bunch of tickets would pay a (relatively) large amount.
ReplyDeleteGood point.
ReplyDeleteI never play- but if the odds were better I'd be tempted!
I'm so curious who won the ticket from Joe's!
