There are plenty of people who would benefit immensely from Friday night’s billion dollar drawing, Floyd Mayweather is last on that list.
With an astounding $1 billion at stake (before taxes) and despite having a reported net worth north of $700+ million, Floyd Mayweather is dropping a sizable amount of cash in hops of doubling up his money. According to TMZ, Money Mayweather was accompanied by his bodyguard Thursday in Los Angeles as he purchased over $2,000 worth of lotto tickets.
Currently, the Mega Millions jackpot stands as the second-largest prize total in United States history. Should there be a single winner of the jackpot, that person will have the option to take home a lump sum of roughly $565 million and no show work on Monday morning.
In the scenario of no one winning Friday night’s drawing, the winnings would increase to a massive $1.6 BILLION total.
