If you’ve managed to avoid lottery news, then you should know there are a couple of large jackpots in play. Powerball’s jackpot is on the verge of hitting one billion dollars! Mega Millions isn’t there yet, but the prize could reach that soon enough, looking at Friday’s results.
After several months of utilizing encores and repeating Combinations, Mega Millions took a low-key approach. This paid off, as the jackpot grew to $640 million.
