MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — Whether you're playing with two bucks or twenty, a lot of people say now is the time to play the lottery.
At a staggering $1.2 billion dollars, the Mega Millions jackpot kept the lines going inside the Kinsley Market Shop Rite in Brodheadsville.
There were no winners for Tuesday's jackpot of $830 million. Since then, the Mega Millions jackpot has grown by an estimated $370 million.
With this much money on the line, even the folks who play the lottery only once in a while are getting in on the action.
"Not a lot, but I do play every now and then when the pot gets pretty wealthy like it is today," said Ricky Williams, Effort.
"I think I started playing with this one when it was at 300 million. I have been playing every, twice a week," said Kathy Stephens, Albrightsville.
The Mega Millions jackpot hit $1.5 billion back in 2018; a woman from South Carolina won that. This current jackpot is the second highest in the game's history.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lottery player. Customers say it only takes one ticket and some luck to change someone's life.
