Combined $1.7 Billion At Stake In Weekend Lottery Drawings

Big money is up for grabs this weekend in the multi-state lottery games available in Illinois.
 
Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot is worth at least $1.35 billion to a single winner… second-largest prize in that game’s history and fourth-largest in U.S. history. It’s been three months since anyone hit all the winning numbers in the Mega Millions game.
 
The Powerball jackpot is also growing, now up to more than $400 million for a single winner. The next Powerball drawing is Saturday night.
