Your Not Going To Believe What The New York Islanders Are Doing!
The New York Islanders Owner Jon Ledecky has partnered up with "JackPocket" to purchase 25,000 thousand lottery tickets worth a value of $250,000,000 dollars for Friday's $1.28 billion Mega Millions drawing.
If they win this lottery, so could their fans. The winnings will be shared amongst season ticket holders, suite owners, staff and of course charity.
The odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 303 million, according to MegaMillions.com.
"As we prepare for our historic 50th anniversary season, we want to show our appreciation for our Islanders Season Ticket Members and staff and give them a chance to participate in this massive Mega Millions drawing," said Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky in a statement. Ledecky's group purchased the Islanders for a reported $485 million in 2014.
"Revenue from lottery tickets is dedicated to education in New York State, so no matter what happens in today's historic drawing, important funds have been generated for education in the state, which supports our fan base and their families."
