The Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have soared to staggering amounts after a series of rollovers, sparking widespread interest and speculation across the United States. The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $893 million for Tuesday night's drawing, positioning it as the sixth largest in the game's history and the 10th largest lottery prize in U.S. history. Similarly, the Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $645 million. This surge in potential winnings comes amid various lottery-related developments, including a significant win in New York where a player narrowly missed the $875 million Mega Millions jackpot but still secured a substantial prize. Additionally, two Texans have claimed second-tier prizes of $1 million each from the Mega Millions and Powerball drawings, further highlighting the widespread impact of these lottery games. Amid these developments, Pennsylvania faced a temporary halt in lottery ticket sales due to a system upgrade, affecting players' ability to purchase tickets for the upcoming draws. However, the state has since completed its upgrades, resuming sales in time for the $893 million Mega Millions drawing.
