The Mega Millions jackpot sparks a new wave of lottery fever. Once again, hopefuls are dreaming of what they would do with a big money payout. The lines are reportedly getting longer at lottery hot spots like Blue Bird Liquor in the South Bay city of Hawthorne.
The Mega Millions jackpot is $740 million after no one matched all of the winning numbers in last Tuesday’s draw. The September 3 digits are 12, 41, 43, 52, 55, and the Mega ball is 9.
Now, attention turns to the next draw on Friday, September 6. The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are one in 302,575,350.
