As we get ready for the first full week of summer, the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

The next Powerball drawing is on Wednesday and is for an estimated $101 million! The cash payout would be around $45 million. As far as the Mega Millions goes, that has climbed to $302 million with a cash payout expected to be an estimated $136 million!

What would you do with that kind of cash? The first thing I would do is pay off the bills and the mortgage that we have. I would actually continue to work. I would just be able to work on my own schedule and perhaps in a beachfront office somewhere!

As for the cost of a Mega Millions ticket, those will set you back $5 per play as the price has gone up over the last few months. However, the lottery giant claims that you may have better odds these days. "Jackpot odds are improved to 1 in 290,472,336 from 1 in 302,575,350 due to the removal of one gold Mega Ball from the game. The new game will feature 24 Mega Balls instead of the current 25. Overall odds of winning any prize are improved to 1 in 23 (from 1 in 24)."
