This weekend is bringing some serious millionaire vibes, and lottery players everywhere are paying attention.

The two biggest lottery games in America, Mega Millions® and Powerball®, are serving up a combined jackpot worth a massive $337 million heading into the weekend.

That’s the kind of money that has people daydreaming about quitting the 9-to-5, buying dream homes, traveling the world, and setting up generations of family for life.

If you’ve been watching these jackpots keep climbing week after week, you already know the energy is building. All it takes is one lucky ticket to turn a regular Friday or Saturday night into a life-changing moment.

First up is Mega Millions®, and this jackpot is getting huge. The grand prize for tonight’s Friday, May 15 drawing has climbed past $251 million. Players can also choose the estimated cash option worth around $112 million.

Players outside the U.S. can still get in on the action too. International lottery fans from all over the world can play Mega Millions and other global lottery games through The Lotter

Meanwhile, U.S. players can grab tickets directly through the official Mega Millions® website.

The jackpot kept growing after nobody matched all six numbers during Tuesday’s drawing on May 12. The numbers drawn were 17, 32, 35, 40, and 47, with the gold Mega Ball landing on 17.

And players definitely shouldn’t ignore the Megaplier option. That extra feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10X, meaning even smaller wins can suddenly turn into some serious cash.

Tonight’s Mega Millions® drawing takes place at 11 p.m. ET from the WSB-TV studio in Atlanta. After the drawing wraps up, players can quickly check results and watch the drawing video on the official Mega Millions® website.

 

But the millionaire dreams don’t stop Friday night. Saturday keeps the hype rolling with another shot at big money through Powerball®.

The Powerball® jackpot has now reached an estimated $86 million for the Saturday, May 16 drawing. Players also have the option to take the estimated cash payout worth about $37 million. Not bad for a ticket that could completely flip somebody’s future overnight.

International players from any country can also jump into Powerball and other worldwide lottery games through The Lotter.

U.S. players can buy tickets directly from the official Powerball® website.

The jackpot rolled over again after Wednesday night’s May 13 drawing ended without a grand-prize winner. The winning numbers were 22, 31, 52, 56, and 67. The red Powerball came in at 15, while the Power Play multiplier landed on 2X.

Powerball® drawings are broadcast live every night at 11 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Fans can also catch the livestream on the official Powerball® website and see instantly if they’re the next big winner.

For lottery players everywhere, weekends like this are what it’s all about: possibility, excitement, and that rush of knowing one lucky moment could change everything. One ticket. One draw. One shot at becoming the next multimillionaire.
