Someone in the state of Illinois is a very rich person. The second-largest Mega Millions jackpot in history took place Friday night, with the winning ticket bought at a Speedway gas station and convenience store in Des Plaines, Illinois, a 20-mile drive northwest of downtown Chicago. CNN reports a single ticket sold in the Chicago suburb for the whole $1.337 billion. The odds of winning the Mega Millions were a one in 302.5 million.
I asked this Chicago resident Andrew Tart what he would do if he won the $1.28 BILLION Mega Millions jackpot. He gave maybe the best answer I've heard yet. @IsaCNN pic.twitter.com/REA0wxFu1n
