LANSING, Mi. (WLNS) – According to state lottery officials, Friday the 13th is historically lucky for Michigan “Mega Millions” players.
Lottery officials say, four Michigan lottery players hit a Mega Millions jackpot on the supposedly unluckiest of days.
The most recent winner, Kevin Blake of Waterford, split a $42 million jackpot on October 13th, 2017.
Tonight’s jackpot has been accumulating for nearly two months and is worth $165 million dollars.
Tickets are $2 and officials say about 97 cents of every dollar spent on lottery tickets is returned to the state, mostly in the form of contributions to the school aid fund.
