Hold onto your hats. This thrill ride will cost you $4.
About $1.2 billion is up for grabs mid-week in two lottery pots combined.
Mega Millions, which draws Tuesday night, is at $615 million. Powerball is at $550 million for Wednesday’s drawing.
Tickets are $2 each.
The cash option is $451.8 million for Mega Millions and $411.4 million for Powerball.
If nobody hits either, the joint jackpots could tilt over $1.5 billion for drawings on Friday and Saturday.
And then it will just keep growing even more ginormous until won.
Mega Millions top prize ever was $1.537 billion in 2018 and $1.586 billion in 2016 for Powerball.
The odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 303 million for Mega Millions and 1 in 292 million for Powerball.
The odds are better at losing $4.
