There are 2 monster lottery drawings coming this week

Feeling lucky? This may be your week.

The Massachusetts lottery will hold at least two massive drawings this week. Wednesday’s Powerball game has an estimated $307 million jackpot, and is the smaller of the two prizes. Friday’s Mega Millions drawing is for an estimated $382 million, though you’ll pocket a mere $238.3 million if you opt to collect the winnings in one lump sum.

It’s the largest Mega Millions drawing since the last year’s record $540 million win.

The odds of winning one of these games are remote, of course, but hitting a both jackpots? A CNBC report calculated the odds of a double win at 1 in 75 quadrillion. Good luck with that.

If you plan to play, you have until 9:50 p.m. Wednesday to buy Powerball tickets. Mega Million tickets are on sale until 10:45 p.m. Friday.
