Mega Millions and Powerball Jackpots Explained

Mega Millions hit a staggering $452 million jackpot Friday night—$201 million as a cash option—with numbers 13, 16, 21, 26, 50 and Mega Ball 12. Winners still unconfirmed, but the suspense is electric. Powerball also soared to $300 million for Saturday, with last week’s winning combo: 3, 26, 49, 53, 61 and PB 12. Remember: even matching just the Mega Ball wins you something—though it’s usually just $10 to $50. And yes, Mega Millions has hit over $1 billion before—like that $1.6 billion prize back in August 2023. It’s pure luck, but the dream of hitting it big keeps players coming back.
