Everything is expensive right now! Gas. Groceries. Housing. Winning the next Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot would certainly make things a little bit easier! 

Neither the Powerball or Mega Millions produced a winner over the weekend, which means the jackpots continue to swell! Powerball has gone 33 drawings without a winner which means Wednesday night's jackpot is sitting at $687 million with a $327.3 million jackpot. There were only five jackpot winners in 2023.
