It’s Friday, and you probably got paid.
In case that check was a little lighter than you would like, you might want to take $2 of it and invest in a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket.
Investing in both could earn you $675 million.
Both jackpots have rolled over 17 times since Jan. 9 and Jan. 10, respectively, Georgia lottery officials said.
Friday night’s Mega Millions jackpot has reached $290 million.
Players can multiply prizes with the Megaplier option for an additional $1 per play. Mega Millions also offers a new optional $3 wager, “Just the Jackpot,” that allows players to receive two entries for a chance to win the game’s jackpot prize only, lottery officials said.
And if that’s not enough money, you can always try for Saturday’s Powerball jackpot, which is worth an estimated $385 million.
Powerball players can also multiply prizes with the Power Play option for an additional $1 per play.
Winners in each jackpot can opt for a lump sum or annual payments.
