"You
wanna know why I am playing this?" asks Jeffery Perry, of Jackson,
Miss., as he fills out Mega Millions lottery tickets, in The World Bar
and Grill in Delta, La., Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018. "It is for my children.
So I can give them a good life." Perry is one of many Mississippi
residents that crossed the Mississippi-Louisiana state line, for a
chance at winning an estimated $1.6 billion jackpot in Tuesday night's
Mega Millions drawing. Rogelio V. Solis, AP

players line up to purchase Mega Millions lottery tickets, at The World
Bar and Grill, in Delta, La., a few miles from the
Mississippi-Louisiana state line, Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018. Although the
Mississippi Legislature passed a lottery bill, the state still does not
have an established lottery, so players from the Magnolia state have
crossed over state lines for a chance at winning an estimated $1.6
billion jackpot in Tuesday night's Mega Millions drawing. Rogelio V. Solis, AP
