Big jackpots in Mega Millions, Powerball
Do you gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night? Or maybe Wednesday?
After rolling over a few times, the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday is now at $143 million, while the Powerball jackpot, to be drawn Wednesday, is the size of an A-Rod contract: $252 million.
Mega will be drawn Tuesday at 11 p.m., while Powerball will be drawn Wednesday at 10:59 p.m.
Maybe you'll be singing some Black Eyed Peas lyrics: I got my money. Paid! Let's spend it up. Let's spend it up!
There hasn't been a Mega Millions winner since March 12, when someone in Illinois made every other player in the 38 states where the game is played ill - hitting numbers 2, 15, 25, 48, 53 and the Mega Ball, 41, for a cool $20 million.
Powerball last had a winner on March 13 - when one winning ticket was sold in New Jersey.
That winner had all five numbers, plus the Powerball - 6, 16, 20, 31, 36 and 8 - and was worth $200 million. A second-place ticket, worth $250,000, was sold in Hollis, Queens. The game is played in 41 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
More than a month later, both jackpots have grown to a size where it's hard not to dream - especially after no one hit either in the drawings on Friday and Saturday.
Just one second-place Mega ticket was sold in New York for the Friday drawing, that at the Lucky 7 deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.
The winning numbers were 10, 16, 31, 48 and 50 with a Mega Ball number of 44.
No one had the winning combination of 5, 21, 22, 41, 49 and 15 needed to win the Powerball drawing Wednesday.
