Delawareans will have a couple of opportunities to win big this week.
Both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are now worth over 200 million dollars.
With no winner Friday night, the Mega Millions prize is $390 million for Tuesday night’s drawing. That’s tied for the fourth largest Mega Millions prize ever and tied for the 12th largest lottery jackpots of all-time in the U.S.
Wednesday night’s Powerball jackpot stands at $222 million dollars after no one won Saturday night.
The biggest lottery jackpot ever - a nearly $1.6 billion Powerball prize – was shared by three winning tickets back in January. There was also nearly 430 million dollar prize handed out to a single Powerball winner in New Jersey in May.
The largest Mega Millions prize was a $656 million jackpot split by three winning ticket in March 2012.
Delaware has never had a Mega Millions jackpot winner and has not had a Powerball winner since May 2013 when an anonymous ticket holder split a 50 million dollar jackpot.
The odds of matching all 6 numbers in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing are 1 in 258.9 million. The odds of hitting Powerball Wednesday night is 1 in 292.2 million.
