COLUMBIA, SC (May 16, 2014) – This weekend sets up back-to-back jackpot drawings at or over $100 million. Tonight South Carolinians can play for a chance at a $136 million Mega Millions® jackpot and tomorrow night try for the $100 million Powerball® top prize.
“Big jackpots are thrilling, and we want players to have fun but to, please, play responsibly,” said the Lottery’s Executive Director Paula Harper Bethea.
Mega Millions® Jackpot - $136 MILLION, cash value $77 million
