Start saying goodbye to your colleagues, because you could soon walk away with a $1 billion lottery ticket.
OK, probably not. But Wednesday night’s billion-dollar Powerball drawing — combined with a Mega Millions jackpot that continues to grow — means some lucky winners could become millionaires even if they Do not do it hit the jackpot.
No one hit all six numbers in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions jackpot draw: 19, 22, 31, 37, 54 with a mega ball of 18.
That means the jackpot for Friday’s Mega Millions drawing is worth an estimated $720 million, with a cash value of $369.6 million.
If you can’t wait until Friday to buy 264 Ferrari LaFerraris (or whatever supercar you prefer), the drawing for Wednesday night’s $1 billion Powerball jackpot drawing will take place at 10:59 PM ET.
The colossal jackpot is the seventh largest in US lottery history and the third largest Powerball jackpot. One crazy lucky winner scored the record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot last year in California.
