Lottery Fever Heats Up as Mega Million and Powerball Jackpots Increase

Here comes the lottery fever once again! And it is hitting the entire nation as citizens get more keyed up for the continuously increasing jackpot prizes of both Mega Million and Powerball.

Because there was no lucky winner for the jackpot of last Tuesday's draw for Mega Million, the pot has now puffed up to about $154 million and that means the cash prize will be as high as 115.2 million USD for the fortunate winner. Last week, the Mega Million jackpot worth was only $139 million and it now made a significant leap.

There were some lucky winners during the Tuesday draw, although unfortunately, they did not hit the jackpot prize. According to the officials of the lottery, there were two winners from Philadelphia after buying the Mega Million tickets - both worth $250,000. Reportedly, there are 3 more lucky winners of $250,000 across United States.

On the other hand, those playing Powerball are very much enthusiastic with getting more tickets, hoping that they can steal the jackpot valued at $270 million, or a cash prize of 175.8 million. The anticipated drawing will happen on Saturday.

The jackpot for the Powerball increased exponentially after no ticket was able to match all the winning numbers during the Wednesday draw. There were four tickets that almost got the jackpot but unfortunately missed it with just one or two wrong numbers. However, these ticket owners still got some very decent prize for their valuable lottery tickets such as the 2-million USD  Powerball winners from Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Ohio. Another millionaire was made in New Jersey as this lucky Powerball ticket owner won a million US dollars.   

The Mega Millions will be drawn again as scheduled later at 11 pm. The game is played in forty-two US states, in the US Virgin Islands and at the District of Columbia.

Are you feeling excited already just like the whole nation? Well, who knows, you might be the next jackpot winner of Mega Million or Powerball.
