The Powerball jackpot grew to $ 730 million and the Mega Millions jackpot rose to about $ 850 million after the last draw for each lottery failed.
According to NBC New York on Saturday night, no one matched all five numbers and the red ball during the Powerball draw. The winning numbers were 67, 20, 65, 14, 39, and the Powerball was 02.
The jackpot prize for the Powerball, as it now stands, would be the fifth largest in the history of the United States.
The Mega Millions draw on Friday was also unsuccessful, and no winner could claim the prize either. The winning numbers were 3, 11, 12, 38, 43 and 15.
If a winner claims the Mega Millions after the next draw, now at about $ 850 million, it is the third largest jackpot in American history.
The next Mega Millions drawing is Tuesday. The Powerball drawing is Wednesday.
Both prizes are the total if a winner chooses the annuity option, which is paid over 30 years, but the cash prizes are lower than the current total.
According to NBC New York, cash prizes, which are usually the winner’s preferred means of payment, currently stand at $ 546 million for the Powerball and $ 628.2 million for Mega Millions.
The largest lottery jackpot won in the United States was a Powerball value of $ 1.586 billion in January 2016. The winnings were split between three ticket holders in California, Florida and Tennessee.
