New Jersey: Is today your lucky day? The Powerball jackpot is sitting at a whopping $88 million, with a cash option of $40.2 million for tonight’s drawing.

The last time someone hit the jackpot was on December 7, when a lucky player in New York won $256 million. Can you imagine?

And if you’re feeling extra lucky, the Mega Millions jackpot is even higher at $944 million for the Tuesday night drawing. That’s a lot of cash!

Just a heads up, Powerball drawings happen three times a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. So, if you want to play, make sure you get your tickets in time.

Speaking of tickets, the deadline to buy them varies by state. In New Jersey, you need to get your ticket by 9:59 p.m. on drawing day, while in New York, it’s 10 p.m. Don’t wait until the last minute!

Playing Powerball is pretty simple. You pick five numbers from 1 to 69 and one number from 1 to 26 for the Powerball. Or, you can let the machine pick for you with a quick pick.

Winning can range from $4 for just matching the Powerball to a million bucks for matching all five white balls. And if you hit the jackpot? Well, that’s a life-changer!

Just remember, the odds of winning the jackpot are pretty steep—292 million to one. So, while it’s fun to dream, don’t go spending those millions just yet!

And if you do win, you can choose between an annuity paid over time or a lump sum cash option. Just think about what works best for you.

Lastly, in some states, you can even remain anonymous if you win. So, if you’re lucky enough to hit it big, you might just keep it under wraps!
