Have you tried your luck so far?

This will be the right time for you to try it. It’s never too late to win the huge jackpot.

Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have grown to massive amounts after weeks of rollovers.

There was no big winner draw on Friday’s Mega Millions. After 30^th consecutive weeks without a big winner, now the new Jackpot amount is estimated at 1.1 Billion dollars. This value is among the largest ever in game history, precisely ranked 6^th. The next Mega Millions draw will be held on Tuesday, March 26, 11.PM ET.

Similarly, without a jackpot winner in Monday night’s, March 25th drawing, the Powerball grand prize is now estimated at $865 million.

Mega Millions, tickets cost 2 dollars and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Draw held on Tuesday and Friday at 11 PM ET. Powerball tickets are also 2 dollars and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the draw is held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

It is natural to be tempted by these numbers, However, as you know, the lottery is like a casino where the odds of hitting the right numbers are less. You have a better chance of being hit by meteors than winning this number.

Is it worth taking the risk of $2?

I would take the risk as eventually somebody will win it and you never know, when is your lucky day. Please keep in mind that you must bet responsibly, and you will not get the advertised prize money.

There will be taxes on top of it and you will get options to select.

Mega Millions and Powerball, jackpot winners will get two options to get the money. The annuitized prize (the advertised $1.1 Billion and $865 million, respectively) or the cash payout ($525.8 million or $416.1 million, respectively).

Whatever options you will select, the tax portion will be withheld before paying out.

Each state has a different tax rate on lottery wins and your resident state tax rate will determine your final payout amount.

It is big money in your custody, and you need to hire a professional services team like an attorney, tax expert, and financial advisor to guide you to take care of your sudden gain of wealth. Finally, the Lottery is an unpredictable game where winning chances are very narrow. Try to play responsibly considering all your circumstances before buying any tickets.

Good Luck.
