The combined Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are now over $1.5 billion.  Mega Millions has climbed to $965 million and the Powerball to $546 million. 
The Mega Millions jackpot has skyrocketed to almost $965 million after no lottery players matched all six of the winning numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing.
The next drawing is Friday, Nov. 14, with an estimated jackpot a staggering $965 million, the eighth-largest jackpot since the game started in 2002, according to Mega Millions. 
Tuesday night’s winning jackpot numbers were white balls 10, 13, 40, 42 and 46, plus the gold Mega Ball 1.
Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
The tickets are $5 each and include a randomly assigned multiplier, multiplying the base prize levels by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X. 
Mega Millions explains on its website that half of the proceeds from the sale of each Mega Millions ticket remains in the state where the ticket was sold, where the money supports designated worthy causes and retailer commissions. Mega Millions drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The Powerball jackpot has reached $546 million after there were no winners in Wednesday night’s drawing.
The next drawing is on Saturday, Nov. 15 with an estimated jackpot of $546 million.  Powerball holds the world record for largest national lottery jackpot at $2.04 billion. The record prize was won by a single ticket in California on Nov. 7, 2022.
Wednesday night’s winning jackpot numbers were 29, 39, 43, 51, 65, and Powerball 23.
Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Players select five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls, then select one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball.
Powerball tickets cost $2 per game. In Idaho and Montana, Powerball is bundled with Power Play for a minimum purchase price of $3 per play.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET!
Powerball says all profits from ticket purchases are retained by the individual lotteries and used to fund projects approved by the legislature authorizing each lottery.
