The Powerball jackpot increases to $ 730 million; Mega million will be 850 million USD

DES MOINES, Iowa – Lottery players have another chance to win big next week, as there have been no grand prize winners for both the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots in their latest designs.

The Powerball jackpot rose to about $ 730 million, after no one matched all five numbers and the red ball in the draw on Saturday night. If a lottery player raises on Wednesday to the next Powerball draw, it would be the fifth largest jackpot ever in the United States.

The winning numbers were 67, 20, 65, 14, 39, and Powerball was 02.

No one exceeded the odds at the Mega Millions draw on Friday, so the jackpot rose to about $ 850 million. This would be the third biggest jackpot ever if he were the winner of the biggest prize draw on Tuesday.

It’s been almost two years since a lottery jackpot increased so much. No one has won the game’s biggest prize in months.

The jackpot amounts listed refer to the winners who opt for a rate, paid for a period of 30 years. The winners almost always choose cash prizes, which for Powerball would be $ 546 million. The estimated cash prize for the next Mega Millions jackpot is $ 628.2 million.

Mega Millions and Powerball are both played in 45 states, as well as in Washington, DC and the US Virgin Islands. Powerball is also offered in Puerto Rico.
