The New York Islanders didn't win the NHL draft lottery earlier this season, so they've turned their attention to a different one: Friday's $1.28 billion Mega Millions drawing.
If they win this lottery, so could their fans.
The Islanders have announced that they've partnered with Jackpocket, a third-party app that allows users to order state lottery tickets, to purchase $50,000 in Mega Millions tickets for the drawing. If any of the 25,000 tickets hits the big prize, or if the winnings are above $250,000 total, the net winnings will be shared by holders of full-season tickets or suites, staff, and the Islanders Children's Foundation charity.
