Someone In Illinois Has Won The $1.337 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot Prize, And Here Are The Best Twitter Reactions (30 Tweets)
Winning a huge amount of money in the lottery is always a life-changing point, and for someone who bought a Mega Millions lottery ticket at a gas station in Des Plaines, Illinois, that moment has already arrived. The winnings amounted to $1.337 billion, but so far the lucky one, who spent only two dollars on the purchase, has not yet appeared.
According to statistics, about 302M tickets were bought for this draw, which means that about the same number of people across America were not as lucky as the unknown person on the highway northwest of Chicago. What's the best way to deal with disappointment? That's right, irony!
Twitter is now full of brilliant jokes and puns from people who bought a ticket and the only prize they received was a while of daydreaming about what would happen when they won. After all, it's never a pity to pay two dollars for a good dream!
Bored Panda has collected some of the most original, ironic and amusing reactions from Twitter users, and if the jackpot could be won simply by being witty, many of these people would already be fabulously rich.

Demand a recount! Hire a crazy asss lawyer to start calling every lottery official he can find. Storm the 7-11 you bought the ticket from! Occupy the slushy machine and call it a victory! (And don't forget to post it all online. Better yet - buy lots of billboards).

I've played the £1.9 million Euro Millions a couple of week ago and I won £12.00. Just a few zeroes missing.

In all seriousness (sorry, I know this is a funny take on losing) but thinking what I could do IF I had won, there are so many people in Appalachia right now who didn’t possess much to lose in the first place. I would want them to know that help is on the way.

Back in the day my grandmother used to buy "all us kids" a lottery ticket (don't remember the game, but one with balls in a vaccum tube and a "red" last one) Anyhow, after a few months of watching more often than not having NO numbers match, I opted for her to buy me a Coke instead, so I could happily have my sugar rush watching all of us lose yet again... That is why I don't play.
