USA Lottery Jackpots hit the High Spot

After weeks of rollovers the two main USA Lottery jackpots hit the high spot this week with combined jackpots of over $200 million. Rollovers are common on both the USA Mega Millions Lottery and the USA Powerball Lottery but when they start topping the $100 million mark things really do reach fever pitch. Big rollover weeks are always a great time to play either lottery and of course we always try and keep you up to date with bumper jackpots here at WorldLottery.
The Mega Millions Lottery is drawn twice weekly on both Tuesday and Friday evenings, that means the next chance you have of winning the Mega Millions Lottery is tomorrow evening. This one is the smaller of the two jackpots available right now but it’s certainly not to be sniffed at, the popular multi-state lottery is worth $75 million to one player who can match all the winning numbers.
Players wanting to buy tickets for the larger Powerball Lottery jackpot will need to play this Saturday evening as these twice weekly draws are held every Saturday and Wednesday. The Powerball Lottery currently offers the bigger jackpot of the two at a staggering $150 million, something which is no doubt going to entice many American Lottery players to try their luck this week.
It’s worth remembering that all American lottery jackpots are taxable so whatever you win, Uncle Sam gets a share of. That said, it’s still a fantastic chance to get your hands on a significant amount of cash.
You can find out how to play both the Powerball Lottery and the Mega Millions Lottery on our world lottery draw pages.
