LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Friday the 13th could end up being lucky for someone today as Mega Millions players will have another chance to end months of losing and finally win a jackpot that has grown to 1.35 billion dollars.
Plenty of people have won smaller prizes in the lottery game, but no one has matched all six numbers and won the grand prize since October 14th. Those 25 straight drawings without a winner have allowed the top prize to roll over and grow larger for three months. It's now the fifth-largest lottery prize in U.S. history. If there is not a winner Friday night, the jackpot will inch closer to the record of more than two billion dollars. The long stretch without a Mega Millions jackpot winner is because of the game's steep odds of 1 in 302.6 million.
