The jackpot for Friday Mega Millions drawing has grown to $ 1 billion. The massive prize will make players flock to what they hope are lucky locations. Even though the odds of winning are more than 1 in 302 million, Kimberly Konieczny is hopeful. “I’m guessing,” she said.
That’s why she and others came to the La Paz Liquor store in Burbank, California – it sold other winners, including last week, when a ticket bought there reached five of the six winning numbers, worth $ 900,000.
‘It’s the dream, just like a dream. And I think everyone wants to help each other, you know, and especially in this time when everyone, you know, is having a hard time, ”Konieczny said.
Someone in the town of Lonaconing, Maryland, got lucky on Wednesday to win the Powerball and over $ 730 million.
Jodi Litchfield hopes she’s next. “It’s my birthday and I’m going to win the lottery,” she said. Litchfield said she would quit her job with Southwest Airlines.
A winning attitude, because there is always a chance.
