MARQUETTE -- With no winner in Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing, the jackpot has soared to a record high. The estimated jackpot for Friday's drawing is $500 million. At the Wright Place in Marquette, sales for Tuesday night's jackpot were brisk and could be even more for this Friday's record drawing.
"Yeah, we've been selling a lot of tickets for the Mega Millions. I mean it's a half a billion dollars, that's a good little bit of change," said Tyler Muljo, an employee at the Wright Place in Marquette.
The odds for winning the jackpot are roughly one in 176 million. But that has not stopped people from buying a ticket...as they say, you can't win if you don't play.
