WASHINGTON — Someone might be a whole lot richer by the end of this weekend.
No one has won either the Mega Millions or Powerball jackpots since the first week of January, which means there’s a lot of money on the line for this weekend’s drawings.
Friday night’s Mega Million jackpot is currently up to $345 million and might still rise before the drawing.
Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot rolled over to an estimated $455 million.
In case you were wondering, Powerball the odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 292,201,388 while the odds of winning the Mega Millions are 1 in 302,575,350.
That means you’re actually more likely to be killed from a falling meteorite than winning the lotto, but hey! There’s still a chance!
