Jackpot Grows to $500M: What Would You Do With It?
No one drew all six numbers in Tuesday's Mega Millions lottery, meaning Friday's will be the largest in the history of the game

That's a record amount for the Mega Millions lottery. To win, you need to hit five numbers plus the Mega Ball.

And, if you believe history repeats itself, walk a couple of extra miles over to Town and Country Newsstand at 6330 West Third Street. They've sold three lottery tickets that were eventually worth $1 million or more.
Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 8 p.m. Pacific Time. For Friday's drawing, an eligible ticket must be purchased by 7:45 p.m. Pacific Time the day of the drawing. If no one hits all six numbers Friday, the lottery will continue on to Tuesday. Those who hit five numbers without hitting the Mega Ball can also win prize money.
Which raises a question: What would you do with all that money? Post your suggestions in the comments below!
