Today's Pick Me Up is so great, and it's two pronged. First up, let's celebrate Crystal Dunn! Crystal made a $20 bet playing an instant scratch off tickets in Kentucky and ended up winning almost $150,000!! Here's the pick me up part though. After she picked up her winnings, she went to her local grocery store and bought over $2,000 in gift cards, and then made her way around the store handing out the gift cards to strangers. Some of those people thought it was a joke or that Crystal wanted something in return, but she explained that she believes in paying it forward and that's what she was doing. She then took the rest of her money and paid off bills and bought herself a new car! Go Crystal!!
Now here's the second part of the Pick Me Up: The Mega Millions jackpot is now up to $630 million dollars!!!!! There was no winner last night, so that means there's still a chance for you and me. If you want, get your ticket before Friday evening because that's when the next drawing is. Friday at 11pm. You could end up winning and then you can pay it forward too! Good luck!!
