ATLANTA — If you’ve looked at Georgia Lottery billboards lately, you may have noticed the jackpots keep on growing.
That’s because no one has won the Mega Millions or Powerball jackpots in months. No ticket matched all the winner numbers and Megaball in Tuesday night’s drawing, bringing the jackpot up to $604 million Friday night.

And there was also no winner in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing and that jackpot is up to $457 million for Saturday night.
That’s a combined $1.05 billion lucky winners could get if they match all the numbers and the Mega Ball or Powerball.
The only place you can watch both Friday night and Saturday night drawings are before WSB Tonight at 11 p.m. here on Channel 2.
