The Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t have Le’Veon Bell back. But they can’t blame that on JuJu Smith-Schuster. The receiver tried his best to raise the funds needed for Bell.
On Wednesday, Smith-Schuster noted that he bought over 100 Mega Millions tickets in hopes of bringing in the $1.5 billion grand prize to help pay Bell. Unfortunately, that quest was unsuccessful.
JuJu Smith-Schuster bought 100-plus Mega Millions tickets this week. As his interview concluded, he said, "I tried to win it so we could get Le'Veon back. It didn't work."

You can’t blame the guy for trying. Outside of the box thinking seems needed to end this standstill. Nothing else has worked.
Maybe Smith-Schuster will get lucky and the actual winner will be a Steelers fan with the same goal in mind. If that doesn’t work, car washes and bake sales are always viable fundraising options.
