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 1.1 billion dollar Mega Millions jackpot is the third largest ever in U.S. history. The last 24 drawings have been without a winner. The potential winner could have the option of a $568 million payday or an annuity paid annually over the next 29 years. 

Another Mega Millions drawing, another night without a big winner. No one hit all six numbers and won the estimated $940 million jackpot Friday night, pushing the lottery prize to an estimated $1.1billion ahead of the next drawing Tuesday night. The prize is now the third-largest in U.S. History. There have been 24 drawings without a jackpot winner. The winless streak is largely due to the game's long odds of 1 in 302.6 million of winning the big prize. The new estimated prize is for a winner who chooses an annuity paid annually over 29 years. Grand prize winners usually take the cash option, which for Tuesday night's drawing will be an estimated $568 million.

  Democrat Scott Schertzer says he would like to see more public service not self-service in the Ohio Treasurer's office.  The longtime Mayor of Marion, Ohio worked in the state treasurer's office under Ohio’s 42nd Treasurer Mary Ellen Withrow, who served in the late 80's and early 90's.  He says that she was an inspiration for him and the example she set for public service.

As the Mega Millions jackpot soars even higher, how do you think you would manage that money?
