The US Mega Millions lottery did not have a winner yesterday, causing the next jackpot to soar to 1.15 billion dollars. I wonder if you're tempted to buy a ticket?
According to data from the North American State and Provincial Lottery Association, about 65% of lottery sales revenue is given as prizes to winners, including the jackpot and other prizes, while the remaining portion, about 6% goes to retailers, 5% is used for lottery administration, and 24% is allocated to public welfare.
