Mega Millions jackpot: Are the odds in our favor?
By Lisa M. Krieger | [email protected] and Khalida Sarwari | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: October 20, 2018 at 6:31 pm | UPDATED: October 20, 2018 at 7:02 pm As the Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $1.6 billion – the largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever – surely someone in the Bay Area, it would seem, stands a good chance of becoming America’s newest billionaire. If geography is destiny, we’re on a roll: On Friday, a Morgan Hill gas station sold a ticket with five of six numbers worth $3.4 million, following Tuesday’s winning San Francisco ticket of $1.9 million, July’s $543 million ticket sold in San Jose and April’s $27 million SuperLotto plus ticket in Fremont. Or, if you want to really narrow things down, maybe Arco AM/PM gas stations are the charm: two of the Bay Area’s four winning tickets were bought at those franchises. Lured by hunch and whimsy, on Saturday players traveled … [Read more...] about Mega Millions jackpot: Are the odds in our favor?
