Mega Millions and Powerball Jackpots Keep Growing After No Weekend Winners

Big‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Money Still Up for Grabs: Mega Millions and Powerball Jackpots Keep Growing

Looks like luck decided not to show up this weekend because the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots once again remain unclaimed after the recent drawing. Since no player was able to get the perfect combination, the prize amounts are increasing and lots of lottery players nationwide are looking forward to giving their fortune a shot once again this week.

Friday night’s Mega Millions draw did not reveal a new millionaire. After two rapid jackpot hits earlier this month – one by a player in Illinois who hit the enormous $533 million jackpot on March 10, and another $60 million jackpot which was hit by a player in Ohio on March 17 – the game has gotten pretty quiet recently. There was no one who managed to get all six numbers correct on March 20, nor did anyone even come close to the big second-tier prize by just matching all five white balls.

The numbers drawn that evening were 11, 20, 51, 55, 63 with the gold Mega Ball being 4. A few people did manage to come pretty close though. Several players were able to pick four white balls as well as the Mega Ball, and their winnings varied from $20,000 to $30,000 depending on their multiplier. Not too shabby – but the focus really remains on that huge jackpot amount which is currently at $60 million for the drawing on Tuesday night. Taking the money option would only give you $27 million.

Meanwhile, the situation in Powerball is quite similar. The top prize from Saturday’s drawing once again was not won and as a result, the jackpot will now be a staggering $133 million for the upcoming Tuesday drawing. Those wishing to take the lump sum will be looking at a figure of about $60.3 million.

Here are the numbers which were drawn on March 21st: 12, 28, 26, 41, 59 with the red Powerball being 2. By only one number, twenty participants almost hit the jackpot, because the drew 4 white numbers and Powerball. Fifteen win $50,000 each, and the rest of five definitely double it up to $100,000 thanks to the multiplier 2X Power Play.

As both the games continue to rise in popularity and the jackpots grow bigger by the minute, lottery enthusiasts are preparing themselves for a thrilling beginning of the week. After all, who can tell? Maybe tomorrow someone wakes up to find a bank account balance that’s several digits longer – and an amazing tale to ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌share…
