If you’ve been watching the jackpots climb, this is the moment. The two biggest names in U.S. lottery play, Mega Millions® and Powerball®, now combine for a massive $606 million heading into the weekend.

This weekend offers two major opportunities for one ticket holder to step into life-changing territory.

The Mega Millions jackpot has surged past $416 million, with a cash option of $193 million, for tonight’s drawing on Friday, February 20.

Players living abroad, of any nationality, can participate in Mega Millions and other international lotteries through the Lotter website.

U.S. residents can purchase tickets directly through the official Mega Millions® website.

The prize rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Tuesday, Feb. 17. The winning numbers were: 3, 37, 44, 52 and 63.

Gold Mega Ball: 14. Players should also remember the Megaplier option, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes up to ten times.

Tonight’s drawing will take place at 11 p.m. ET at the WSB-TV studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly after the draw, the video will be posted on the Mega Millions® website.

 

Meanwhile, the Powerball® jackpot now stands at an estimated $190 million for Saturday, February 21. The cash value is $88 million.
