Saturday’s winning numbers were: 14-26-38-45-46- Powerball: 13
The Mega Millions jackpot is even bigger, spawning the lottery fever across the country.
Here’s what you need to know about the two awards:
Powerball
The Powerball jackpot had grown to $ 550 million (cash value: $ 411.4 million) on Sunday morning, the biggest potential prize since March 2019.
Powerball directors say it could be the ninth biggest prize in the game’s history.
The next draw will take place on Wednesday, January 13th.
Even though no one won the grand prize, two tickets corresponded to the five white balls to win $ 1 million. These tickets were sold in Pennsylvania and Florida.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit in New York in the September 16, 2020 draw.
“It’s been a few years since the games offered such big jackpots at the same time and our players are here for that,” said May Scheve Reardon, president of the Powerball Product Group and Executive Director of the Missouri Lottery.
The Powerball game is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
Mega Millions
The Mega Millions jackpot hit $ 600 million for the fourth time in history.
Many lottery players are waiting for their chance at fortune, as no single ticket matched the six numbers drawn on Friday night.
Friday’s winning numbers were: 18, 3, 58, 16, 6 and a Megaball of 11.
Although no one won the Mega Millions jackpot earlier this week, five tickets match the five white balls, making players from California, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York millionaires.
Four of the winners won $ 1 million, and the New York winner bought the optional Megaplier, raising his prize to $ 2 million.
Our sister station WABC-TV reported that the $ 2 million winning ticket was purchased at Citgo Mart in Middletown, Orange County, and a $ 1 million winning ticket was sold at Masso’s Deli & Pizzeria in Gibbsboro, New Jersey.

Mega Millions tickets are sold in 44 states, plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
