GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The next Mega Millions jackpot has topped half a billion dollars.
And at Jackson Pointe Citgo in Green Bay, where a $316 million Powerball ticket was sold earlier this year, workers there said so many people have been coming in to see if they could play their chance at luck.
"There's been so many people. It’s definitely a lot busier tonight because the Mega Millions is at $530 million and everyone got the idea that this place is going to sell the next winning ticket and I'm all for it,” said Kristy Sommers, Jackson Pointe Citgo Assistant Manager. “We are known as the hot spot. Everyone that comes in, that’s their first comments about how we have sold the winning Powerball ticket and they’re going to coming in and buy the winning Mega Millions ticket. So every ticket I print is hopefully the winning ticket for them.”
The Mega Millions jackpot has been growing since April and now stands at $530million dollars.
That makes the jackpot the game's eighth largest in history.
