This weekend is looking really nice for anyone who’s ever caught themselves zoning out and imagining life as a millionaire. Mega Millions® and Powerball® are showing up with more than $448 million combined, just sitting there, waiting for someone to step up and claim it.

This is the kind of money that makes you pause, reread the headline, and seriously wonder how different life could be by next week.

Mega Millions® gets things started tonight, Friday, February 6, and it’s coming in heavy. The jackpot is sitting at a massive $346 million, the kind of number that doesn’t just change your life, it changes generations. If you’re not into waiting around for yearly payments, the cash option is hovering around $156 million. One ticket, one draw, one decision that could flip your entire world overnight.

Players in the U.S. can purchase tickets directly through the Mega Millions® website.

If you’re outside the States, you’re still in the mix and can play through The Lotter website.

 

The jackpot climbed again after no one matched Tuesday’s winning numbers, which were 5, 11, 22, 25, and 69, with Mega Ball 21. No winner means the prize keeps growing. And don’t overlook the Megaplier, because even the smaller prizes can multiply up to ten times.

The Mega Millions® drawing takes place live from Atlanta, Georgia, at 11 p.m. ET, and the draw video is available shortly afterward on the Mega Millions® website.

Powerball® keeps the momentum going on Saturday, February 7. The current jackpot stands at $102 million, with a cash option of around $46 million.

It may be smaller than Mega Millions®, but it’s still more than enough to turn everyday problems into distant memories.

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

While international players can participate through The Lotter website.

Wednesday’s draw didn’t produce a jackpot winner either, as no one matched the numbers 27, 29, 30, 37, and 58, along with the red Powerball 15 and a 2X Power Play in effect.

With no winner again, the suspense keeps building and the jackpot keeps rolling. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump in, this weekend might be it. Someone is about to wake up with a bank account that looks unreal, and there’s no rule saying it can’t be you.

Powerball® draws live from Tallahassee, Florida, at 11 p.m. ET, and the drawing can be streamed on the Powerball® website.
