Just $2 and six numbers stand between you and a Mega Millions $750 million jackpot or Powerball’s $640 million loot.
On Wednesday, there was no Powerball winner either, meaning the $640 million drawing on Saturday will be the fifth-largest in the lottery’s history.
If you’re looking to increase your odds of winning the Mega Millions from 1 in 302,575,350 to maybe 10 in 302,575,350 or play a better bet with Powerball’s odds of 1 in 292,200,000 without spending more money, a pool with friends or colleagues might be for you.
