AceShowbiz - Even though DJ Khaled is already rich and has a lavish mansion as well as a company, he still thinks that it isn't enough for him. He recently shared on Instagram that he bought an insane amount of Mega Million lottery tickets in hopes of winning the $1.6 billion.
In a video which he posted on the photo-sharing platform, he appeared to be at a convenience store to buy a thick stack of tickets as he kept pointing at the sign which showed the prize. Khaled believed he had given himself a chance at better odds to be the lucky winner by buying a lot of tickets, saying, "I'm gonna get me mine!"
But fans weren't happy about that, considering that Khaled has made so much money even without the lottery. It prompted them to dub him "selfish" and "greedy," with one "I would have slapped him if I was on that line," one person commented. "I understand you want more money but why take it from ppl that might actually need it ? Then have the nerve to rub it in our faces," another said.
It remains unseen whether Khaled will win the lottery for real as the drawing takes place at 11:00 P.M. ET on Tuesday, October 23. But if he does, there's possibility that he will receive more backlash from people.
The $1.6 billion Mega Millons jackpot itself has set an all-time world record and become the largest lottery jackpot in history. The record was previously held by Powerball drawing with $1.586 billion back in 2016.
"Mega Millions has already entered historic territory, but it's truly astounding to think that now the jackpot has reached an all-time world record," said lead director of the Mega Millions Group Gordon Medenica. "It's hard to overstate how exciting this is but now it's really getting fun."
