FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) – The 9th largest jackpot in US History is up for grabs Friday.
The Mega Millions jackpot is at 548 million dollars and while it is nothing to scoff at, Amy Karow, General Manager of Kornelis Convenience Stores in Fond Du Lac says people may wait until the jackpot is a little higher.
“Before the jackpot hit over a billion dollars, we used to be a lot busier when they got to $500 million. We expect traffic, but not as busy as it used to be.”
Karow says it may be a different story if nobody wins the jackpot on Friday.
“We will see a significant increase if it gets over $600 or $700 million dollars and I will staff accordingly and will be there all day myself.”
Kornelis is part of the Miracle Mile in Fond Du Lac, which is known for selling winning tickets.
“They were the $365 million dollar ticket Powerball winner a few years back,” Karow said. “It is a notorious station.”
Korneli’s also had a $42,000 dollar Badger Five winner last week.
Odds of matching all six numbers in the Mega Millions are one in over 302-million.
