Tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot expected to exceed $65 million, with a cash value of $43.4 million.  With the Powerball Jackpot already over $100 million, i’m starting to think we may soon have Mega Millions joining the the $100 million club.  From experience i expect that if the Mega Millions jackpot rolls over (increases for the next draw) tonight, the friday drawing will be for a prize between $81 million and $85 million.  If this occurs and a rollover occurs on friday, the drawing on April 14th would likely exceed $100 million.

While it’s all a bunch of “if x and y and z occurs” assumptions, but when you’re a lottery reporter, these little bursts of excitement are always nice to see!

There were 2 tickets sold that match all 6 numbers in Saturday’s Powerball drawing.  The tickets were sold in Delaware and Pennsylvania and each ticket hold will share half of the jackpot which was expected to exceed $173 Million.  The jackpot for the Weds March 4th Powerball drawing has been reset to $20 million.

This leaves the $212 million Mega Millions, alone as the only $100+ million jackpot in the US.

We’re in the midst of a phenomena that occurs only once in a few years. I’m not referring to the alignment of the planets or solar flares, i’m talking about the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery jackpots both exceeding $170 Million for this weekend’s drawings.  The Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots at $171 million and $173 million, respectively, likely raising these jackpots past $180 million by drawing time.

If nobody hit’s these jackpots over the weekend, we’ll likely see both jackpots exceed $200 Million, for the drawings on March 3rd and 4th.  Every time these jackpots rollover, you will see excitement, tickets sale and media coverage rapidly increase. 

We love this kinda situation at AllLotto, we hope you do too!
