Talk about a lucky weekend! Lottery fans worldwide have two big reasons to get excited as Mega Millions® and Powerball® jackpots continue to climb, putting a combined estimated $618 million on the table.

That's a whole lot of millionaire-making potential!

First up is Mega Millions, with its next drawing scheduled for tonight, Friday, Nov. 13. The jackpot has climbed to an estimated $555 million, with a cash option of approximately $235 million.

Not a bad payday for anyone dreaming of saying goodbye to the daily grind!

International players from any country or nationality can play lottery through The Lotter website.

If you’re in the U.S., you can get your Mega Millions® tickets directly through the official Mega Millions® site.

The jackpot rolled over after nobody matched all six winning numbers in Tuesday's Nov. 10 drawing. The five white balls were 2, 18, 25, 30 and 65, while the gold Mega Ball was 1. The Gold Megaplier ball was 22. Players also shouldn’t sleep on the Megaplier option because it can boost non-jackpot prizes by up to 10X, which can turn smaller wins into something a whole lot sweeter.

Tonight’s Mega Millions® drawing goes down at 11 p.m. ET at the WSB-TV studio in Atlanta. After the drawing, the video will be posted on the official Mega Millions® website so players can check those numbers fast.

And the excitement doesn't stop there! Powerball® is up next on Saturday, Nov. 14, with an estimated jackpot of $63 million and a cash option of $26 million.

That's another shot at a life-changing payday for anyone feeling lucky this weekend.

If you’re outside the U.S., you’re not necessarily out of the game. Players from any country or nationality can play any international lotteries through The Lotter website.

U.S. residents can also purchase Powerball® tickets directly through the official Powerball® site.

Powerball's jackpot grew after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday's Nov. 11 drawing. The five white balls were 8, 42, 45, 51 and 57, along with the red Powerball number 17. The Power Play was 3X.

Powerball drawings are broadcast live every night at 11 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, and fans can also watch the livestream on the official Powerball® website.

Two major drawings, hundreds of millions of dollars and plenty of daydreaming about what life could look like with a few extra zeros in the bank. So, who's ready for a little lottery excitement this weekend?
