The Biggest Lottery Jackpot In World History – R3.8 Billion ($500 Million)
29 Mar 2012 by Seth Rotherham in 2oceansvibe Lottos, Featured
The scramble is on for tickets to Friday’s MegaMillions lottery, which happens to be the biggest jackpot in world history. Sitting at $500 Million, this equates to R3.8 Billion if you happen to be the single lucky winner. This crushes the previous record set, which was a mere $390 Million. If you win, you will be worth more than people like Jay-Z, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
News stations are going crazy with the latest figures.
CNN had this to say:
The jackpot in Friday’s Mega Millions lottery drawing has risen to an estimated $500 million, the largest in the game’s history, after Tuesday night’s drawing produced no jackpot-winning ticket.
The latest estimate, announced around midday Wednesday, is even larger than lottery officials had announced just hours earlier. The initial estimate for Friday’s drawing was $476 million, which also would have been a Mega Millions record.
Tuesday’s numbers were 9, 19, 34, 44 and 51, with a Mega Ball of 24. That drawing was for an estimated $363 million jackpot, which would have been the game’s third-largest.
Forty-seven tickets earned a pre-tax prize of at least $250,000 each by matching five numbers without matching the Mega Ball.
The game’s previous biggest jackpot was $390 million in a March 6, 2007, drawing.
A quick look at Wikipedia will confirm that it is in fact the biggest in WORLD history.
These are my number for the biggest lottery draw in world history.
