This weekend is bringing straight-up millionaire energy, and lottery players everywhere are locked in.

The two biggest lottery games in America, Mega Millions® and Powerball®, are rolling into the weekend with a combined jackpot worth a wild $427 million. Yeah, you read that right.

That’s the kind of money that gets people thinking about buying luxury homes, flying first class around the world, and making sure the whole family is set for generations. When jackpots start climbing like this, everybody starts wondering the same thing: “What if this is my ticket?”

The first big millionaire shot of the weekend comes from Mega Millions®. Tonight’s Friday, May 22 drawing has climbed past an estimated $296 million jackpot, with a cash option sitting around $128 million. Either way, somebody could wake up tomorrow with a completely different life.

Players around the world are jumping into the action too. International lottery fans can play Mega Millions and other global lottery games through The Lotter website.

While U.S. players can grab tickets directly from the official Mega Millions® website.

The jackpot kept growing after nobody matched all six numbers during Tuesday’s May 19 drawing. The numbers pulled were 10, 26, 34, 56, and 64, with the gold Mega Ball landing on 6.

And don’t sleep on the Megaplier option either. That extra add-on can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10X, which means even smaller wins can suddenly turn into serious money real fast.

Tonight’s Mega Millions® drawing goes live at 11 p.m. ET from the WSB-TV studio in Atlanta. After the drawing, players can quickly check results and watch the drawing video on the official Mega Millions® website to see if their lucky numbers came through.

 

But the big-money weekend doesn’t stop there. Saturday night keeps the millionaire vibes rolling with another shot at life-changing cash through Powerball®.

The Powerball® jackpot has now climbed to an estimated $131 million for the Saturday, May 23 drawing. Players can also choose the estimated cash payout worth around $57 million. Not bad at all for one ticket that could flip somebody’s future upside down overnight.

International players can also get in on Powerball and other worldwide lottery games through The Lotter website.

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

The jackpot rolled over again after Wednesday night’s May 20 drawing ended without a grand-prize winner. The winning numbers were 10, 28, 30, 46, and 57. The red Powerball landed on 25, while the Power Play multiplier came in at 3X.

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 instantly find out if they just became the next big winner.

For lottery fans everywhere, weekends like this are what the game is all about, big dreams, huge possibilities, and that electric feeling that one lucky ticket could change everything forever. One draw. One moment. One shot at becoming the next multimillionaire.
