Mega Millions is completely out of control at this point

Source - The Mega Millions lottery jackpot rose to $636 million Tuesday, just $20 million short of the U.S. record.The one-time cash payout for tonight's jackpot: A whopping $341.2 million, according to Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty. There are about 259 million number combinations in play for a top prize, but long odds were not deterring long lines at lottery ticket outlets. A $1 billion Christmas Eve jackpot could end up under some lucky winner's tree if no one hits the jackpot tonight or Friday night. The jackpot — up more than $160 million since hitting $425 million Dec. 13 — has rolled over 21 straight times since Oct. 4, when it was a relatively pocket-change $12 million.


If you don't know about this and aren't buy quick picks like they are going out of style I don't know what you've been doing with you life. Apparently mega millions changed something up and since then no one has won. 21 straight times the jackpot rolls over, and the bigger the jackpot gets the more people buy. A billion dollars by Christmas?!? Someone could become a billionaire?? Zuckerberg must be rolling over in whatever coffin he sleeps in right now. At what point does this legitimately become unsafe? Like hypothetically this thing rolls along til February, and the jackpot is like 15 billion dollars, and then someone hits it. Is there any world where that person isn't murdered? I mean I am buying as many tickets as I can afford tonight, but if we hit the billion mark count me out.
