Powerball, Mega Millions keep getting heftier

Add more loot to the lottery jackpots.

Add more loot to the lottery jackpots.

Nobody won the grand prizes in either multistate lottery over the weekend.

No luck locally for the second-tier prizes either. No new six- or seven-figure windfalls for Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware.

Tomorrow's top prize in Mega Millions will now be worth $84 million, in yearly payouts - or $52.1 million cash.

Wednesday's Powerball annuity jackpot has been growing even longer. It's up to $138 million, or $68.6 million cash.

Worth $250,000 are six Mega Millions tickets. New York sold two, while Maryland, Illinois, Texas and Washington each sold one.

Those tickets had the first five numbers - 17, 35, 44, 52 and 56 - but not the Mega Ball of 22.

Mega Millions is played in New Jersey and 11 other states.

In Powerball, only four tickets can cash in for $200,000. Three were sold in Missouri, one in North Dakota. They had 5, 37, 39, 46 and 53, but missed the Powerball, which was 8.

Nobody won the $1 million that goes with having the Power Play multiplier options plus the first five numbers without the proper Powerball.

Powerball is played in Pennsylvania, Delaware and 28 other states.
