ISHPEMING -- Both of the nation's multi-state lottery games are sporting big jackpots for their drawings Friday and Saturday.
After 13 straight rollovers, the Mega Millions top prize is now $304 million for Friday night's drawing, and that number has people lining up at Jubilee Foods in Ishpeming for their chance to cash in on the jackpot. Ticket sales are way up.
"I would say it probably doubles," said Store Manager Dustin Gransinger. "At least 25 percent increase, I would say, you know, when it gets a higher dollar amount."
The game is played in 42 states and Washington, D.C.
