COLUMBIA, SC (May 24, 2019) – At over $300 million, Mega Millions® and Powerball® are posting hot jackpots this Memorial Day weekend. Tonight’s Mega Millions® jackpot drawing is for $393 million. Tomorrow night’s Powerball® draw is for $308 million.
Up first, Mega Millions® draws tonight at 11.
Tickets are $2 and must be purchased by 10 p.m. South Carolina sold its first jackpot-winning Mega Millions® ticket in October—that ticket was worth $1.5 billion. For that to happen again tonight, the winner must overcome odds of 1 in about 303 million and then choose between a cash option of $244 million or an annuity worth $393 million.
Saturday night its Powerball’s® turn.
For $2, players can try their luck at a $308 million Powerball® jackpot with a cash value of $192 million. Our state has sold seven Powerball® jackpot winning tickets. The odds of winning it all are still long at about 1 in 293 million. Tickets must be purchased by 9:59 p.m. on Saturday for the drawing at 10:59.
The Lottery urges responsible play and reminds players that it only takes one ticket to win. So, please, play responsibly.
Good luck, South Carolina!
