"We know that many people will likely receive tickets to Friday's drawing as holiday gifts, and what a gift that would turn out to be if you ended up with a ticket worth a $1.15 billion jackpot," Joshua Johnston, lead director for the Mega Millions Consortium, said in an online statement.
The tickets sell for $2 each, and the company says half of the proceeds from the sale of each ticket stay in the state where the ticket was sold.
The odds of winning the jackpot are one in 302,575,35, according to Mega Millions. The odds of being struck by lightning in your lifetime are one in 15,300 according to the National Weather Service.
