Both jackpots hit 9 figures
The jackpots of America's two biggest lotteries are both over $100 million, because no one hit all the numbers drawn over the weekend.
The jackpots of America's two biggest lotteries are both over $100 million, because no one hit all the numbers drawn over the weekend.
The new top prizes: $112 million for Mega Millions tomorrow night, $114 million for Powerball's drawing Wednesday.
Both lotteries are played in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and 30 other states.
The numbers drawn Saturday night in Powerball were 18, 47, 51, 53 and 58, with a Powerball of 30. Winning $200,000 each, for having the first five numbers without the Powerball, were tickets sold in Rhode Island, Florida, Kansas and Arizona.
Nobody won $1 million for having the first five plus the Power Play multiplier option.
A New Jersey ticket, though, did hit for $250,000 on Friday night in Mega Millions. It was one of three tickets with the first five numbers - 4, 14, 29, 54 and 56 - but not the Mega Ball of 40. The other two quarter-million winners were purchased in New York and California.
None of those three states offers the Megaplier option, which can multiply a prize by 2, 3 or 4.
