Raising Cane’s founder buys 50,000 Mega Millions tickets, plans to split with all employees

Mega Millions excitement is growing almost as fast as the jackpot.

Todd Graves, the founder of Raising Cane’s restaurants, is buying 50,000 Mega Millions of tickets, in honor of his 50,000 employees, in hopes of winning the jackpot that will be draw Tuesday night.

If he wins, he says he’ll take that money and distribute it to employees throughout the company.

“As soon as we heard how big this jackpot prize is, we couldn’t miss out on the chance to win the Mega Millions jackpot and share it with our crew who always stand together,” Graves said. “None of what we do at Cane’s would be possible without our crew, which is why we are always looking for ways to bring them a little extra fun, and if we’re lucky, a surprise on Wednesday morning.”
