The Mega Millions lottery jackpot sits at an estimated $810 million and that has a lot of people scrambling to buy a ticket, including the owner of Raising Cane's, a famous chicken fingers restaurant chain.
As WWLTV reports, Todd Graves purchased one $2 lottery ticket for each of the company’s estimated 50,000 employees.
Graves says the jackpot will be divided by each of the employees if one of the tickets is a winner. That equates to an estimated $16,000 per each employee.
“As soon as we heard how big this jackpot prize is, we couldn’t miss out on the chance to win the Mega Millions jackpot and share it with our Crew who always stand together,” Graves told WWLTV. “None of what we do at Cane’s would be possible without our Crew, which is why we are always looking for ways to bring them a little extra fun, and if we’re lucky, a surprise on Wednesday morning.”
The next Mega Millions drawing is set for Tuesday, July 26.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.
