Big Game Hot Despite Very Long Odds
404017 06: Lottery-winning hopefuls are seen as they wait in line to buy their Big Game lottery tickets outside a Citgo gas station April 16, 2002 in Russell, IL, a small community in northern Illinois on the Illinois-Wisconsin border. Thousands of people are rushing to snap up tickets for the April 16 drawing, the second-biggest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. The jackpot in the seven-state game played in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia climbed $25 million April 15 after strong sales over the weekend. By the time of the drawing, the prize could swell past the U.S. record of $363 million, split by two Big Game winners in 2000. (Photo by Tim Boyle/Getty Images)
