4h agoLottery fever is back in New Jersey, and just about every
other state in the U.S., as both the Mega Millions and Powerball have grand
prizes of over $500 million.
The jackpot for the Mega Millions’ drawing tonight has
climbed to $615 million. The top prize in the Powerball game reached $550
million ahead of Wednesday’s drawing.
It has been nearly two years since the two national
lottery games offered such giant prizes, and only the second time both jackpots
have topped $500 million.
“It’s been a long time since, a long time since we’ve
seen both of them over half a billion,” says Anthony Catananzi, of Fords. “Yeah. Well, this might be my lucky day. Then again, it
could be yours too.”
The odds of winning are around 300 million to one.
