The Mega Millions jackpot is even bigger, causing lottery fever across the country.
Here’s what you need to know about both awards:
Powerball
The Powerball jackpot rose to $ 550 million (cash value: $ 411.4 million) by Sunday morning, the biggest potential prize in March 2019.
Powerball officials say it could be the 9th top prize in the game’s history.
The next draw will take place on Wednesday, January 13th.
Even though no one won the grand prize, two tickets matched all five white balls to win $ 1 million. These tickets were sold in Pennsylvania and Florida.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit in New York in the September 16, 2020 draw.
“It’s been a few years since the games offered such big jackpots at the same time, and our players are here for that,” said May Scheve Reardon, president of Powerball Product Group and executive director of the Missouri Lottery.
The game of Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
Mega Millions
The Mega Millions jackpot reached $ 600 million for the fourth time in history.
Many lottery players are hoping for their chance to win, as no tickets matched all six numbers drawn on Friday night.
Friday’s winning numbers were: 18, 3, 58, 16, 6 and a Megaball of 11.
Even though no one won the Mega Millions jackpot earlier this week, five tickets match all five white balls, making players from California, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York millionaires.
Four of the winners won $ 1 million, and the New York winner bought the optional Megaplier, raising his prize to $ 2 million.
Our sister WABC-TV reported that the $ 2 million winning ticket was purchased at Citgo Mart in Middletown, Orange County, and a $ 1 million winning ticket was sold at Masso’s Deli & Pizzeria in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. .
