While everyone is worried about a White Christmas, some lottery players may be having dreams of a Green Christmas too.
Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries may help make those dreams come true even if their individual jackpots aren't record-breakers.
As of Wednesday morning, Mega Millions had a jackpot of at least $247 million. Powerball is at least $269 million.
If you add up the amounts, that’s $516 million and the total could still grow.
Those totals are if the winners take it in a prize paid out over 30 payments. If winners take the cash option, the amount is slashed to $155 million for Mega Millions or $171.3 million for Powerball, all before taxes.
The next Powerball drawing is set for Wednesday night.
Mega Millions will be drawn on Friday.
