Krispy Kreme will give you a free donut if you lose the lottery
View Date:2024-12-24 09:26:16
Krispy Kreme is offering an extra sweet consolation prize for those looking to lick their lotto-losing wounds.
Anticipation for Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing ramped up after no winner was announced on Friday’s draw. Early on Tuesday, Mega Millions announced the estimated jackpot had climbed north of a billion dollars, making it one of the largest ever in the U.S.

Coming in at 1.1 billion as of Tuesday afternoon, the current jackpot is the fourth largest in Mega Millions history. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot is at $95 million for Wednesday night's drawing.
Of course, as for most lottery games, only one can win. With all the fanfare surrounding massive prizes, ticket sales have increased, meaning the number of losers will as well.
This is where Krispy Kreme swoops in to save the day.
Between Tuesday, August 1 and Wednesday, August 2, customers can bring a Mega Millions ticket from Tuesday’s big drawing or a losing ticket from any other lottery to a Krispy Kreme store near them for a free original glazed donut. The offer is limited to one freebie per customer while supplies last.
“Tuesday’s $1 billion lottery drawing reminds us that we definitely hit the lottery when it comes to our fans,” said a Krispy Kreme press release. “There’s probably a billion reasons we love them so much. So, this week we want them all to win some ‘dough.’”

The Mega Millions drawing is set to take place Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET. If there is no winner, the next drawing will occur on Friday. Besides local broadcast networks, the drawing can be watched on YouTube.
For those who aren’t so lucky to win the cool billion, a sweet sugary treat will at least help wash out that bitter taste of defeat.
