Two Lottery Jackpots At Astronomical Levels

A Mega Millions jackpot estimated at $560 million is up for grabs on Friday night. And don’t worry if things don’t go your way with that drawing. There’s another whopper offered on Saturday: a Powerball prize estimated at $875 million, according to the Powerball website. The Powerball prize is the third-largest in its history.  A grand prize hasn’t been won since April 19, and it has “rolled over” 36 times since then. Both lotteries had drawings this week that failed to produce grand-prize winners. Both are played in 45 states. The Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for 10 p.m. on Friday and the Powerball drawing will be at 9:59 p.m. Saturday.
