Islanders buy 25,000 Mega Millions tickets, would give $1 billion jackpot to season ticket holders and staff

Just about everybody is joining in on the Mega Millions jackpot fun.

The New York Islanders announced they partnered with JackPocket and have bought 25,000 tickets for the big payday.

If the franchise wins, the winnings will be shared with full-season ticket holders and suite holders. 

Another share of the winnings will go to staff members and children’s foundation Islanders Group.

After nobody hit the jackpot worth over $800 million Tuesday, the pot has now grown to close to $1.3 billion.

Fans celebrate a first-period goal by Brock Nelson (29) of the New York Islanders, the first in the new building, against the Calgary Flames at the UBS Arena Nov. 20, 2021, in Elmont, N.Y.

The Islanders played at Barclays Center in Brooklyn full-time from 2015 to 2018 and then split time between the two arenas from 2018-2020 before returning full time to Long Island for one final season.

The new arena cost $1.1 billion to build. So, if the Isles get lucky, they’ll already make that money back and have plenty to spare.
