Lottery jackpots in the Bay State are climbing into the hundreds of millions again with Friday’s Mega Millions projected at $410 million and Saturday’s Powerball not far behind, at $378 million.
The cash option on the Mega Millions prize is an estimated $213.8 million, while the cash option on the Powerball prize is an estimated $198.7 million.
The latest run up in jackpots comes just months after the third largest win ever in the United States, a $1.337 billion prize that was drawn July 29.
Two anonymous Chicago-area winners just claimed that fortune, opting for the massive $780 million cash-option.
Fan sues Patriots over faded Brady signature on Old Glory
The New England Patriots caused irreparable damage to a U.S. flag signed by Tom Brady by improperly displaying it in the team’s hall of fame at Gillette Stadium, the flag’s owner contends in a federal lawsuit.
After it had been on display a couple of months, Brady’s signature written in blue Sharpie had significantly faded, which reduced the flag’s value by as much as $1 million, according to the suit filed against the team Wednesday in Boston.
A Patriots spokesperson said Thursday the team had no immediate comment.
The flag, described as “a priceless piece of sports memorabilia and historical artifact,” flew over the now-closed Foxboro Stadium on Dec. 22, 2001.
“I am a die-hard Patriots fan and have been for 40 years,” said Daniel Vitale, 42, of Hampstead, New Hampshire. “That flag was so significant to me because it was right after 9/11 and it was the last regular season game at Foxboro Stadium.”
