Two Jackpots, One Night: $637M and $478M on the Line

· By Patrick Gilmore, Founder

Powerball draws tonight, Monday July 13, at $478 million in advertised annuity prizes, and Mega Millions follows Tuesday July 14 at $637 million, placing more than $1.1 billion in combined jackpots on the line within a single 24-hour window.

What is the Powerball jackpot for tonight, July 13?

The advertised annuity jackpot is $478 million, according to the Louisiana Lottery.

The cash lump-sum option is approximately $212.2 million before taxes. Powerball draws tonight at 10:59 p.m. Eastern.

Why did the Powerball jackpot rise from $457 million?

No ticket matched all six numbers in the Saturday July 11 drawing, which produced winning numbers of 8, 10, 14, 45, 59 and Powerball 5.

That miss rolled the prize up from $457 million to the current $478 million estimate, according to the Louisiana Lottery.

What is the Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday, July 14?

The advertised annuity jackpot is $637 million, with a cash option of $278 million before taxes, confirmed by the Louisiana Lottery and the Mega Millions Consortium.

Mega Millions draws Tuesday July 14 at 11 p.m. Eastern.

What were the Mega Millions numbers on Friday July 10?

The winning numbers were 2, 39, 44, 46, 56 with Mega Ball 23, and no ticket matched all six for the jackpot.

The largest prize distributed was a $2 million Match 5 ticket sold in Florida, boosted by a 2x multiplier.

How long has the Mega Millions jackpot been rolling?

The jackpot has grown continuously since March 17, when a ticket purchased in Ohio won a $60 million prize, according to Artvoice and the Mega Millions Consortium.

More than 75 drawings have passed since then without a jackpot winner, which is what drives a $60 million starting point to more than ten times that size.

What are the odds of winning either jackpot?

The Powerball jackpot odds are 1 in 292.2 million and the Mega Millions jackpot odds are approximately 1 in 290 million, according to the Mega Millions Consortium.

Both games offer smaller prize tiers with considerably better overall any-prize odds: about 1 in 23 for Mega Millions and roughly 1 in 24 for Powerball, though most of those prizes are $4 or less. See our lottery odds guide for a full tier breakdown.

Which drawing is tonight and which is Tuesday?

Powerball draws tonight, July 13, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern. Mega Millions draws Tuesday, July 14, at 11 p.m. Eastern.

A Powerball ticket is only valid for the single draw date printed on it, so a ticket purchased today is entered in tonight's drawing only and cannot carry over to Wednesday's Powerball draw.
