So you maxed out your credit cards in December buying gifts that your ungrateful children. Well, good news: the lottery is here to solve all of your problems as it is hitting $221 million on Friday (which I would think should be enough to pay off those bills).
Tuesday’s drawing failed to get a player with all six numbers, though someone in Minnesota did score a million bucks by matching five (that might be enough coin to pay for heating costs this week).
The last big jackpot was handed out on Nov. 4, when a New York ticket netted a $326-million jackpot, the eighth largest in history (and I am positive that I am related to that winner in some way).
So how much would you win on Friday: After taxes, the estimated cash value would be $144 million.
