The Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb, reaching an estimated $843 million for Friday’s drawing after no one won the big prize Tuesday night.
The eighth largest payout in the game’s history would go to a sole winner who opts for the annuity option, doled out over 30 years. Most people usually prefer a lump sum option, which for Friday’s jackpot would be an estimated $391.7 million.
The prize is also subject to taxes, which includes an automatic withholding tax of 24% levied against the winnings, and another 13% in federal taxes when you file your 2024 return.

There’s also state taxes in some jurisdictions, which range from 2.9% to 10.9% depending on the state you live in. But if you’re lucky enough to live in California, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington or Wyoming, you won’t pay income in your winnings.
The jackpot has been gradually building for months thanks to 38 straight drawings without a jackpot winner. It’s the longest streak without a jackpot winner since the game began in 2002.
Lottery jackpots grow so large because the odds of winning are so small. For Mega Millions, players have a 1 in 290 million chance of taking home the top prize. 
Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET. The game is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets are $5 per game.

The Uttar Pradesh government has made it mandatory for eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display QR code stickers, which what many believe is a way to target Muslim food business owners.
According to the latest order, all shops along the 540 km Kanwar Yatra route, from Meerut to Muzaffarnagar, must display the QR code stickers to show the menus.
All eateries must also link the QR Code to the Food Safety CONNECT App. The mobile application is developed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), designed to enable consumers to report food safety concerns, track complaints, and verify FSSAI licenses. 
According to government officials, this initiative would help ensure hygiene, food safety-related information, transparency, and accountability for the estimated four crore Kanwar Yatra pilgrims.
The latest government order mirrors last year’s directive mandating restaurants, fruit shops, roadside dhabas and hotel owners to display their names in front of the shops to indicate if they were Hindus or Muslims.
The order, issued by the UP and Uttarakhand governments, drew sharp criticism from all sections of society, with many calling it blatant discrimination and a move to fuel communal tensions amongst communities.
The matter finally reached the Supreme Court which stayed the order.
Kanwar Yatra is an annual pilgrimage of devotees of Shiva, known as Kanwarias. They take the procession to pilgrimage places of Haridwar, Gaumukh and Gangotri in Uttarakhand and Ajgaibinath, Sultanganj in Bhagalpur, Bihar, to fetch holy waters of the Ganges River.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea on July 15 challenging the Uttar Pradesh government’s directive mandating the display of QR codes on all eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route.
A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh is set to hear the PIL filed by academician Apoorvanand Jha and others.
“The new measures mandate the display of QR codes on all eateries along the Kanwar route, which reveal the names and identities of the owners, thereby achieving the same discriminatory profiling that was previously stayed by this court,” Jha said.
Opposition leaders have strongly criticised the UP government’s QR code mandate for eateries, stating it directly targets Muslims.
Congress MP Imran Masood accused the UP government of dividing people through such orders. “Will they install QR codes for job opportunities as well?” he asked. “By installing QR codes at festivals, they are propagating hatred and dividing people. Where do they want to take the country? Unemployment is a big issue, but they don’t want to talk about it,” Masood said.
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi questioned why the Yogi Adityanath-led administration was not adhering to the Supreme Court’s interim order from last year, which had stayed a similar directive requiring shop owners to display their names and contact details outside their establishments.
He asked why the UP government and police allowed Hindutva vigilante groups to harass hotel staff near Muzaffarnagar, questioning if these right-wing groups are a “parallel government.”
“There are many hotels near the Muzaffarnagar bypass. These hotels have been there for years. Didn’t the Kanwar Yatra start here 10 years ago? This was a peaceful procession for years. There was no unrest there. Why is all this happening now?” he asked.
He stressed that the police should do their job and arrest those who are harassing shopkeepers. “These people have created a spectacle. They are not even following the orders of the Supreme Court. How can they enter someone’s hotel? Going to a hotel and asking someone’s religion is wrong. Why isn’t the government doing anything?” he questioned.
Former Samajwadi Party MP Dr ST Hasan condemned the move, saying, “Forcing vendors to reveal their religion through QR payments is no different from terrorist tactics, this is soft terrorism meant to polarize society.”
Despite mounting criticism, BJP spokesperson Sanjay Chaudhry defended the move, stating, “We are not targeting any religion, but pilgrims have the right to know who is cooking their food. QR codes help ensure transparency.”
“This is not a diktat, it is about Hindu pride. ‘Love jihad’, ‘Land jihad’, ‘Food jihad’, this is our warning. If they do not reform, the law will,” he said, emphasising that “This is about Hindu pride and food purity during a religious pilgrimage.”
There have been reports of violent incidents involving Kanwar Yatris targeting Muslim-owned shops and vendors, particularly in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Hindutva organisation, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) workers, reportedly scan QR codes at roadside dhabas along the route, questioning vendors about their religion, verifying their identities, and marking stalls they deem “Hindu-friendly” with saffron flags and posters of Hindu deities.

A program in the LaRose Digital Theatre hosted by the Center for Organizational Analytics sparked dialogue on generative AI’s enterprise applications and legal considerations.
Elon University’s Center for Organizational Analytics hosted a mini-conference in the LaRose Digital Theatre on Friday, April 5, 2024, to explore enterprise and legal considerations of generative AI.
“It is important for us to hold these discussions with our students and community,” said Manoj Chari, an assistant professor of business analytics and the center’s director. “AI will continue to be a topic that needs to be examined at all angles.”
Shiva Kommareddi
Shiva Kommareddi, a managing director at Accenture, focused his session on the practical applications of AI for businesses.
Having launched numerous successful data and AI startups, including Core Compete, Kommareddi brought a wealth of experience in deploying advanced analytics and AI within retail, manufacturing, and financial sectors. He explained the value of having AI generate responses for customer service or write copy for product descriptions.
“Many are over-thinking AI and how to use it,” Kommareddi said. “You need to experience the innovation to figure out how it can work best for you.”
David Levine
Professor David Levine at Elon University School of Law School presented on legal implications and considerations surrounding generative AI.
If OpenAI falls under trade secret protection, Levine asked, and even developers of the code are not entirely sure how the code selects output – can AI still be a trade secret?
“That question may not need to be decided until a national security risk is discovered,” Levine said.
Levine’s legal scholarship focuses on the intersection of technology, secrecy, and public policy. An affiliate scholar at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School, he also was a fellow at Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy from 2014-2017.
In recognition of his scholarly work, Levine was named the Jennings Professor and Emerging Scholar at Elon Law for 2017-2019. Most recently, Levine was named a fellow at the University of Milan’s Information Society Law Center.
