Who would think that a video about scratching lottery tickets on a road trip across America would attract 96,000 views?
YouTuber Jebus and a friend traveled across the entire United States with one unique goal: to buy a lottery ticket in every state they visited, starting from Virginia.
This unforgettable trip was not just about the destinations, but the thrill of the possible lottery win at each stop.
Their first stop started in Virginia, where they tried their luck with a "50 times the money" ticket. The winning numbers were 37, 49, 38, 35, 18, 34, 44, and 15. After scratching away, they found a match with number 34, winning them $20, a small profit to kick off their adventure.
Next, they headed to West Virginia, aiming for the $200,000 jackpot with a "21" ticket. They searched for pairs and diamonds but found no luck. The game involved matching two or three items like apples, aces, and hearts, but they couldn't find a winning combination.
The journey continued in Kentucky with a $20 ticket. The numbers were 54, 27, 26, 40, 1, 51, 7, and 58. They scratched away at the gas station, full of hope, but none of their numbers matched. However, they discovered a "20 times" multiplier, turning a potential loss into a $100 win!
In Indiana, at their hotel in Evansville, they tried a ticket with numbers 31, 36, 56, 51, 44, 3, 62, and 41. Despite their best efforts, including a "fast 50" bonus game, they didn't win.
Illinois was next, with a "100 times the money" ticket. The winning numbers were 6, 9, 41, 26, 58, and 30, with a bonus orange symbol. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a match and left Illinois empty-handed.
Missouri's ticket was unique, with a top number of 8 – one of their lucky numbers. Despite their enthusiasm, the ticket didn't yield any winnings.
In Kansas, they tried the "20 limited edition" ticket, hoping to win $100,000. Their winning numbers were 42, 48, 60, 45, and 33. The back of the ticket had a bonus game, but luck wasn't on their side in Kansas either.
Colorado offered a "Set for Life" $20 ticket, with winning numbers including 41, 37, 50, 23, 45, 40, and 30. Despite the promising numbers, they couldn't secure a win.
Arizona presented a bigger challenge with a $50 "500 times the money" ticket. The numbers were 1, 48, 11, 9, 25, 23, 12, 26, 47, and 13. Even with a bonus number 8, they couldn't find a winning match.
In New Mexico, they opted for two $10 tickets instead of a $20 one, with numbers like 33, 17, 37, 28, and 14. One of the tickets finally brought them a $10 win.
Texas had a unique "Million Dollar Loteria" ticket, where they had to match pictures to win. They managed to win $20, breaking even on their investment.
Oklahoma's "Cash Explosion" ticket, scratched with a hair clip, surprisingly brought them a $50 win, putting Oklahoma in second place after Kentucky.
Arkansas's $20 ticket had numbers like 11, 3, 17, 39, 37, 33, 25, and 15. A lucky star symbol on the last spot won them another $50.
Tennessee's "Win Big" ticket, bought after a hot walk, didn't bring any luck despite their efforts with numbers like 65, 59, 54, 25, 56, 48, 15, and 24.
After returning to Virginia, they spontaneously bought two $30 tickets. The first ticket broke even, but the second one brought a staggering $500 win – the biggest of their entire journey.
The total cost of the lottery tickets bought during the road trip was $370. The total winnings from these tickets amounted to $780.
The Mega Millions jackpot stands at $530 million after there was no winner for Friday’s game. The jackpot rolled again after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night: white balls 8, 20, 26, 53 and 64, plus the gold Mega Ball 15.
July continues to be a hot month for Mega Millions® jackpots with two of the largest jackpots in the 20-year history of the game having been won during July.
If the prize of $530 million is won on July 19, the jackpot would be the eighth largest on record, below other big July prizes of $536 million awarded in Indiana on July 8, 2016, and $543 million won in California on July 24, 2018. The record Mega Millions jackpot is $1.537 billion, won in South Carolina on October 23, 2018.
