Paying off credit card debt, buying a house, disappearing for a month on an exotic beach, helping your family members or starting a business are just some of the dreams that could become a reality if you manage to get it right. Mega Millions or Powerball draw numbers that this week are offering a combined bag of nearly $ 1 billion.
“I would go and live in Oklahoma because I have my family there and I would take vacations in Acapulco or every beach I can meet,” said Luis Martinez, who works as a receptionist at a local clinic.
The bag for the Mega Millions lottery draw, which is played in 47 states of the nation and is held every Tuesday and Friday night, offers an estimated prize of $ 447 million, or the not inconsiderable amount of $ 339,600,000 if you choose to receive the cash prize. The stock market varies according to sales.
To be the winner of this draw you must hit six numbers on the lottery ticket which costs two dollars.
“I would disappear for a month with my kids and go to Hawaii because I don’t know and they say it’s very pretty,” said Esther Vallejo, who bought her Powerball ticket at a downtown gas station .
This draw, which is played on Wednesday and Saturday nights, is also offering a juicy prize. An estimated total of $ 410 million is in the stock market for this week’s draw, after no one has hit the winning numbers for several weeks. If you hit all the numbers and choose a cash payment this figure would drop to $ 316.4 million.
The chances of getting this prize is one in 292 million 201,000 338 people, but this draw offers nine ways to get it right.
Meanwhile the chances of winning the Mega Millions draw is one to 175 million 711,000 536 chances.
