How to play for Powerball winnings and a Mega Millions jackpot nearing $1 billion – CourierPostOnline.com

Lottery players have the chance to win big as two major jackpots continue to grow.
The Mega Millions currently sits at $965 million, with the next drawing set for Nov. 14. The Powerball is up to $512 million, with the next drawing set to occur Nov. 12.
Both drawings are to take place at 11 p.m.
Lottery tickets can be purchased at a variety of locations, including most local convenience stores, gas stations or grocery stores.
In some states, tickets can be bought online.
New Jersey residents have the option to order tickets through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network.
The Jackpocket app allows you to pick your lottery game and numbers, place your order, see your ticket and collect your winnings all using your phone or home computer.
On your Mega Millions ticket, you’re to pick six numbers. Five are to be white balls with numbers ranging from 1 through 70, and one is to be the gold Mega Ball with a number between 1 and 24.
For example, the winning numbers from the draw Nov. 11 were: 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and, from the Mega Ball, 1.
If you don’t feel like picking your own numbers, you can opt for a quick pick, or easy pick, where the computer randomly generates numbers for you.
Mega Millions tickets now include built-in multipliers, which increase non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or 10 times.
On your Powerball ticket, you’re to pick six numbers. Five are to be white balls with numbers ranging from 1 through 69, and one is to be the red Powerball with a number between 1 and 26.
The winning numbers from the latest Powerball drawing on Nov. 10 were: 6, 28, 44, 48, 58 and, the Powerball number, 23.
If you don’t feel like picking numbers, there’s a quick pick option that lets the computer generate numbers for you.
To win the jackpot, players are to match all five white ball numbers in any order and the red Powerball.
There is an optional Power Play that can be added to increase the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.
Power Play multiplier can increase winnings by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times.

No jackpot winner yet in Mega Millions. Here's what the prize it up, next drawing – The Providence Journal

With no jackpot winners on the last Mega Millions drawing on Nov. 11, the prize is now just short of $1 billion.
The next Mega Millions jackpot is currently worth $965 million, with a cash option of $445.3 million.
“It’s the eighth largest jackpot since the game began in 2002, below only the seven previous billion-dollar jackpots Mega Millions has awarded,” according to a release from Mega Millions.
The release continues, “The most recent to reach this lofty level was ultimately a $1.269 billion prize won in California on (Dec. 27, 2024). After four jackpot wins in the first half of this year, Friday’s drawing will be the 40th drawing in this run, a game record, since it was last won in Virginia on June 27.”
While no one won the jackpot, there were over “809,030 winning tickets across all prize tiers” in the Nov. 11 drawing, according to the lottery.
The next drawing is Friday, Nov. 14 at 11 p.m.
Drawings are conducted at 11 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays from Atlanta. You can watch them on the official Mega Millions YouTube channel.
If no one wins, the jackpot will continue to grow.
According to the game’s website, “Players may pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers – five different numbers from 1 to 70 (the white balls) and one number from 1 to 24 (the gold Mega Ball) – or select Easy Pick/Quick Pick. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing. In the event of multiple jackpot winners, the jackpot prize will be shared.”
There are other prizes in addition to the jackpot. The smallest prize to win is $10.
Mega Millions tickets are $5 each and can be played in 45 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased until 10:45 p.m. on the night of a given drawing.
According to a recent study by Hard Rock Bet, more than 1,600 Mega Millions draws from the past 15 years were analyzed to identify the most frequently drawn numbers.
“The results? Number 20 was the top white ball number (drawn 149 times), followed by 10 (148 times), and 31 (147 times),” according to a release about the study. “For the gold Mega Ball, number 9 came out on top (drawn 80 times), followed by 11 (77 times), and 1 (76 times).”
