Friday ’s Mega Millions drawing is worth an estimated $1.15 billion .
It doesn't seem that the nation's top 10 jackpots — not including this one — already have boasted 10 -figure payouts.
“The question lurking is, what happens when $1 billion becomes routine and people don’t care about it anymore?” said Jonathan D. Cohen , author of a book “ For a Dollar and a Dream: State Lotteries in Modern America ”.
“Even if we deny it, we all sort of believe in the meritocracy — this belief that if you won your money through luck, then you probably didn’t actually deserve it,” Cohen said. And yet various studies have shown “lottery winners are happier, healthier and wealthier than the rest of us.”.
