The two major and nearly national lottery games have amassed a combined jackpot of almost $2 billion, as months pass by without a winner.
Concretely, the current Mega Millions prize is at an estimated $1.1 billion, while Powerball's stands at close to $800 million. According to ABC News, it's the first time the two lottery games have grown so much at the same time. And while both of them have had larger figures in store, they never offered $800 million or more at the same time.
