Friday night offers an opportunity for ticketholders to walk away with the fourth-largest prize in Mega Millions history.
With no ticket matching all six winning numbers drawn in the multistate lottery earlier this week, the estimated Mega Millions jackpot now stands at $1.25 billion. While big paydays have spawnedover the years, they have also spelled disaster for some. Not only do most winners have to deal with people coming out of the woodwork looking for a handout, but there have also been cases of bankruptcy, murder, robbery, drug abuse and various legal woes in the wake of big wins.
That selfie or video clip isn’t for bragging on social media.

“One of the biggest things we urge players to do is to take their time,” she said. “Prize claim policies may vary in each state, but here in North Carolina players have 180 days to claim their prize. This will give a player time to make some very important decisions, like what they want to do with the money and how they think it will change their life.”Having a lot of money means you can help a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean you can help everyone — nor should you.
