The recent large jackpot win is likely to temporarily increase interest and ticket sales for lotteries, particularly Mega Millions. This uptick in participation can positively impact companies associated with lottery ticket sales. However, since lottery stocks can be volatile and often correlate with major jackpots, they might not be a consistently reliable investment long-term.
