Mega Millions Jackpot Reaches $740M as Powerball Grows to $47.9M

No grand prize winners in recent drawings push both Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots higher, with next drawings set for December 17 and December 16 respectively.

The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to $740 million, the eighth-largest in its history, with a cash option of $343 million.
No tickets matched all six numbers in the December 13 Mega Millions drawing, though several tickets won smaller prizes, including a $3 million Megaplier prize.
The Powerball jackpot stands at $47.9 million, with a cash option of $21 million, after no winners were drawn on December 14.
Mega Millions and Powerball tickets cost $2 each, with optional add-ons like Megaplier and Power Play increasing non-jackpot winnings.
The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for December 17, while Powerball's next drawing will take place on December 16.
