What would you do with $241 million? A lucky lottery player may get the chance to explore that question in depth after tonight's Mega Millions drawing.
No one matched all the winning numbers in Friday's drawing causing tonight's jackpot to jump into serious money territory. Friday marked the 15th time the jackpot has rolled since Jan. 27.
If someone should match all the winning numbers in tonight's drawing, he or she will have a choice of two payment options: an annuity option that will net the lucky winner approximately $9.2 million a year for 26 years or a single cash payment of $171 million.
