$1.3 billion up for grabs this weekend across the nation's lotteries

Lottery players have two shots at nine-figure fortunes this weekend. Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have climbed to a combined $1.3 billion, and several state games are stacking up sizable prizes of their own.

Mega Millions climbs to $743 million

Tonight's Mega Millions jackpot sits at $743 million. The cash option comes in at $323.4 million.

A winner tonight would claim the tenth-largest Mega Millions jackpot in the game's history. The jackpot hasn't been hit since March 17, when a ticket sold in Ohio took home $60 million. Tonight marks the 37th drawing since that win.

Powerball jackpot hits $600 million

Saturday's Powerball jackpot stands at $600 million, with a cash option of $266.4 million.

A win this weekend would be the sixth Powerball jackpot claimed in 2026, and the largest one yet this year. The last winning ticket surfaced on May 2, when players in Florida and Texas split a $20 million prize. Saturday's drawing will be the 36th since then.

Other jackpots worth a look

Mega Millions and Powerball aren't the only games paying out big this weekend. A handful of state lotteries have jackpots worth chasing, too.

California's SuperLotto Plus reaches $40 million

California's SuperLotto Plus jackpot stands at $40 million, with a cash value of $17.5 million. This is currently the biggest state lottery jackpot in the country.

Indiana's Hoosier Lotto climbs to $30.2 million

Massachusetts Megabucks jackpot set to break a 40-year record

Massachusetts Megabucks has an estimated jackpot of $24.65 million heading into Saturday's drawing at 9 p.m. ET.

A win on Saturday would set a new record for the game. The current record has stood since October 15, 1985, when a $21.7 million jackpot was split among eight tickets. At the time, it was the third-largest jackpot in U.S. history.

Lotto Texas jackpot reaches $22.25 million

Lotto Texas players are chasing an estimated $22.25 million jackpot in Saturday's drawing. The average jackpot for Lotto Texas is $29.86 million. So far, this pot has been on a run for 156 draws. Drawings happen at 10:12 p.m. Central Time, with ticket sales closing at 10:02 p.m. CT.
