Tonight’s MEGA MILLIONS® jackpot has an estimated annuity of $512 million. Saturday’s POWERBALL® jackpot has an estimated annuity of $147 million.
(DOVER, Del.) — After no one matched all 6 numbers on the July 20th MEGA MILLIONS® drawing, the jackpot has risen to the 5th largest in MEGA MILLIONS® history at $512 million.
The last POWERBALL® jackpot was won on June 20th, but the jackpot has already climbed back up to $147 million for Wednesday night’s drawing.
“So far this year, we saw a $1 million big win in both POWERBALL® and MEGA MILLIONS® in Delaware,” said Vernon Kirk, Director of the Delaware Lottery. “It’d be great to see another big win this week.”
Most recently, two $10,000 winning tickets were sold in Delaware for the MEGA MILLIONS® drawing held on Friday, July 20th. The two tickets were purchased at the 7-Eleven on South Gerald Drive in Newark and Toll Gate Liquors on Lancaster Avenue in Wilmington.
MEGA MILLIONS® drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM EST with tickets for tonight’s jackpot on sale until 9:45 PM.
POWERBALL® drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM EST.
