3 big jackpots up again

The potential paydays keep getting more glorious - even if the odds remain quite daunting.

The potential paydays keep getting more glorious - even if the odds remain quite daunting.

Three big jackpots are up from last week, because the latest drawings produced no grand prize winner.

Tonight, $10.7 million is the prize in New Jersey's Pick 6 Lotto, whose jackpot has been building since late September, when a ticket purchased in Cherry Hill won $7.25 million. (Thursday's numbers were 25, 31, 33, 35, 38 and 44.)

The odds of winning with a single ticket: 1 in 14 million.

Tomorrow night's the biggie, with $118 million on the line in the Mega Millions multistate lottery, played in New Jersey, Maryland and 10 other states.

No one had all the numbers drawn Friday night: 2, 21, 27, 34 and 44, with a Mega Ball of 45.

Six tickets, though, won $250,000 for having the first five numbers, but not the Mega Ball. Two were sold in Michigan, the others in California, Massachusetts, Maryland and Ohio.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 175.7 million.

Wednesday night, Powerball is dangling $77 million, because nobody matched the math that came up Saturday night: 12, 13, 14, 35 and 41, with a Powerball of 29.

Idaho and Kansas sold the only two tickets worth $200,000 for having the first five numbers. No slip hit for $1 million, which happens when someone has the first five plus the Power Play option.

The odds of winning the top Powerball prize are 1 in 195.2 million.

Powerball is played in Pennsylvania, Delaware and 29 other states.

Pennsylvania's Super 7, by the way, is at $1.2 million for tomorrow night. A jackpot of $1.58 million was hit just 10 days ago.

The odds of winning Super 7's jackpot are 1 in 7.28 million.
