Some big jackpots up for grabs in a couple U.S. lotteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combined jackpots for Powerball<\/a> and Mega Millions<\/a> are over $1.3 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mega Millions is up to an estimated $743 million for tonight’s draw, while Powerball sits at $600 million for Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a fun stat for tonight’s draw. Researchers analyzed every number by how often it actually hits, not just how many times it’s been drawn. They say number 10 is the luckiest in the current game, hitting about 30% more often than average since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**Reminder\u2014you cannot legally buy Mega Millions or Powerball tickets in Canada. You may see websites offering to buy Mega Millions tickets for you, be cautious. These services operate outside the official lottery system, and there is no guarantee that a ticket purchased through them will be honoured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
