Do not be shocked if you see people holding lottery tickets for two games this week. The winning numbers for the Powerball and Mega Millions games were not drawn over the weekend, setting the stage for one of the largest combined jackpots in history. The Powerball jackpot stands at $800 million, the sixth largest in the game’s history. The Mega Millions jackpot is currently at $1.1 billion, which is currently the fifth largest in the game’s history. Between the two games, there have only been six jackpots that have eclipsed $1 billion and all of them have occurred in the last 10 years. The games are played on different days, with the Powerball drawing taking place on Monday and Mega Millions occurring on Tuesday. You would have to strike gold twice to get close to the biggest jackpot of all time, which was an over $2 billion Powerball jackpot won in November 2022.
