Take our poll or tell us in the comments section on how that cash would change your life.
The multi-state Mega Millions lottery game has more than a half billion-dollar jackpot for Friday night’s draw.
Let that roll around on your tongue for a while... half a billion dollars. $540 million. Any way you phrase it, if you win the jackpot you better learn how to say “new tax bracket."
A recent Bloomberg report names Georgia residents as some of "the biggest suckers" in America.
Georgia resident spent $3.4 billion on lottery tickets over the past year. That averages $470.73 per adult -- 1% of their annual income. Its low rate of winning lottery payouts (62.9%) landed the state No. 1 on Bloomberg's "sucker index."
