The lottery scene in the U.S. is buzzing in a big way right now, with  Mega Millions® and Powerball® stacking a combined total of $1.5 billion across two massive jackpots heading into the weekend.

Yeah, billion with a B. If you’ve ever imagined stepping into the holidays with full-on millionaire energy, this might be your shot. Somebody’s going to hit big eventually, so why not you?

With both jackpots soaring and the holiday season kicking in, the excitement is real. Whether you’re a regular player or just feeling lucky, this weekend brings a billion-and-a-half reasons to take your shot.

Grab a ticket, cross those fingers, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the next big millionaire story. Good luck!

The action kicks off tonight, Friday, November 14, with Mega Millions leading the charge. Players across the country are chasing a jaw-dropping $980 million jackpot, or they can take the cash option of $452 million if they want the money upfront.

This prize kept climbing after nobody matched Tuesday’s winning numbers:  10, 13, 40, 42, 46, with the Mega Ball 1. And with the Megaplier in play, even smaller wins can blow up, multiplying up to ten times their original amount.

The drawing happens live from Atlanta, Georgia, at 11 p.m. ET, and you can catch the video right after on the Mega Millions® website.

To get your tickets, just go to the Powerball® website.

International players can jump in via The Lotter website.

That total rose after nobody scored Wednesday’s winning digits: 29, 39, 43, 51, 65, plus the red Powerball 23, with a 2X Power Play boosting secondary prizes.

You can catch the live draw straight from Tallahassee, Florida, at 11 p.m. ET, or stream it on the Powerball® website.
