Many of us are already making plans for 2018 by making yearly resolutions.  Some are probably going to lose more weight, or stop swearing, or make plans to be a better person.  Well, how about making a resolution starting the New Year a millionaire?  Yeah, it sounds like a long shot, but if you’re lucky it could be a reality.

The Powerball and Mega Millions from the Texas Lottery have both rolled over increasing both jackpots over $300 million each.  From CNN Money, no one had the winning numbers on Wednesday’s Powerball drawing 3, 9, 16, 56, and 60 with the Powerball number 3 which caused it to roll over and have an estimated jackpot of $384 million.

Now the Mega Millions jackpot on Friday is already at $306 million and drawing is set for 10 p.m. There hasn’t been a winner since October 13^th when two tickets split a $43 million dollar jackpot.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot have been estimated to be around 1 in 292.2 million and the odds of winning the Mega Millions are 1 in 302.6 million.
