mega millions

After reading about Clark Gas, a Loves Park gas station selling a winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket worth $400,000 a couple days back, I thought it might be fun to see who's won the big money and how much they walked away with (pre-tax).

As I look at an email I just got from the Illinois Lottery, I see that tonight's Powerball drawing has about $730 million reasons for you to consider playing. As the Illinois Lottery's Jessica Perez explains, "This is the fourth largest Powerball prize in game history and the sixth highest jackpot in U.S. lottery history."

Holy s***, I can't believe it happened. I just won a nearly-billion-dollar jackpot. What do I do now? And, what do I do first? Here's comes some expect advice.

Sure, there were some million-dollar winners but nobody won the jackpot!

Get ready for the second largest jackpot in Mega Millions history!

The Mega Millions jackpot could easily get you this home in Loves Park. It's pretty extravagant but comes with a weird and creepy accessory.

Someone is sitting on an unclaimed Mega Millions jackpot sold back in February. It's kind of aggravating.

If you were in Rochelle and purchased a Mega Millions lottery ticket on Tuesday, you better check those numbers again. The winning ticket was sold at a gas station there.

If you had hopes of winning the next bagillion dollar lottery jackpot, you might have to take a drive out of state.

$265 Million Dollars! It's the largest prize in Illinois lottery history.
