Dec 25, 2024
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - The Mega Millions jackpot is over $1 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers on Christmas Eve.
The jackpot for Friday's drawing will be the fifth-largest jackpot in the game's history.
Maybe you received a Mega Million ticket in your stocking stuffer and if you haven't you still have time to go grab one. Tickets are two dollars a piece and some people are already thinking about what they would do with the money if they won. "I'll probably move out of the country, go to Japan or Switzerland. Something like," says Quentin Bouchard of Chicopee. "I got nothing going on over there. Have a nice easy life over there."
You can find the winning numbers on Friday night on 22News at 11 pm. The odds of winning the mega millions jackpot are one in 300 million.
Now don't let the odds discourage you. If you don't play, you'll never have the chance to win.
