The available fortune in two lottery jackpots have grown to a combined total of nearly $1.4 billion dollars!

Tuesday night (1/12) the Mega Millions jackpot rolled over to $750,000,000.

Nobody purchase a Powerball ticket containing the winning numbers for last night’s (1/13) drawing. That means this jackpot now rolls over to a total of $640,000,000.

The two combined jackpots will be worth at least $1,390,000,000. The excitement of such large jackpots could (and likely will) motivate lottery ticket sales enough to raise the jackpot amounts.

The next Mega Millions drawing will take place Friday night, January 15th.

The next Powerball drawing will take place Saturday night, January 16th.

Will you buy a ticket for the Mega Millions, the Powerball, both or neither?
