Mega Millions $1.28B jackpot lures players to the ‘luckiest’ 7-Eleven

One 7-Eleven convenience store in California is the self-proclaimed “LUCKIEST 7-ELEVEN IN THE WORLD,” after it sold a winning ticket for the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history six years ago.

Nobody won the $810 million jackpot on Tuesday night, meaning the total has soared to a whopping $1.28 billion. Mega Millions announced the drawing will be at 11 p.m. ET on Friday.

The 7-Eleven digital sign keeping track of the jackpot has run out of numbers in Atwal’s store. It remains stuck on $999 million.

The Mega Millions prize is one of the largest in the lottery’s 20-year history. The largest winning ticket was in South Carolina in 2018, according to the lottery’s records.
