California Lottery Jackpot Hits Half Billion Dollars

There were nine tickets that had five winning numbers but no one had five plus the mega number.

The California Lottery Mega-Millions game has a half billion-dollar jackpot for Friday night’s draw. Half a billion dollars. $500 million. A whole lotta cash.  Any way you phrase it, if you win the jackpot you better learn how to say “new tax bracket."

The big jackpot could mean instant financial security for some lucky person and a chance at some serious philanthropy.  If a Dublin citizen wins the jackpot Friday, what would you like that person to do for Dublin?
