Odds of winning the Powerball and Mega Millions are NOT in your favor
Odds of hitting the jackpot in Mega Millions or Powerball are around 1-in-292 million. Here are things that you’re more likely to land than big bucks.
A Powerball lottery ticket worth $100,000 was sold in Georgia.
The ticket, matching four out of five numbers and the Powerball during Wednesday night’s drawing, was sold at Conyers Food Mart off Old Conyers Road in Stockbridge, according to WSB-TV.
The winning numbers
There were also some smaller prizes among Peach State players.
However, no one scored the jackpot, which is now up to $400,000 million as of Thursday. This comes just a month after a ticket was drawn in California for the lottery’s second largest ever jackpot of about $1.765 billion. That life-changing prize was the result of 35 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.

How to play Powerball?
Powerball players select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the standard white balls, then select one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. They can choose their own lucky numbers on a play slip or let the lottery terminal randomly pick their numbers.
To win, match one of the nine ways:
- 5 white balls + 1 red Powerball = Grand prize.
- 5 white balls = $1 million.
- 4 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $50,000.
- 4 white balls = $100.
- 3 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $100.
- 3 white balls = $7.
- 2 white balls + 1 red Powerball = $7.
- 1 white ball + 1 red Powerball = $4.
- 1 red Powerball = $4.
There’s a chance to have your winnings increased two, three, four, five and 10 times through the Power Play for an additional $1 per play. Players can multiply non-jackpot wins up to 10 times when the jackpot is $150 million or less. All prizes are set cash amounts, except for the grand prize.
The Powerball costs $2 per play.
