The American Mega Millions lottery did not award any prizes yesterday, causing the next jackpot to soar to $1.15 billion. I wonder if you're tempted to buy?
According to data from the North American State and Provincial Lottery Associations, about 65% of lottery sales revenue is awarded as prizes to winners, which includes the grand prize and other prizes. The remaining portion, approximately 6%, goes to retailers, 5% is used for lottery management, and 24% is used for public welfare.
