You've probably noticed that in recent years, lottery jackpots tend to swell to astronomical sizes, sometimes even topping the $1 billion mark. But why?
You've just won the $1.25 billion Mega Millions jackpot. (It's nice to dream, isn't it?) But can you really stay anonymous and keep strangers from finding out?
It's been a month, and no one has come forward to claim the $1.3 billion jackpot from July's Mega Millions Drawing... so what happens to that money if no one claims it?
