Mega Millions jackpot keeps rolling to $720 Million!

The third largest Powerball jackpot ever was hit this week but the Mega Millions jackpot continues to roll! The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to an estimated $720 million ($370.5 million cash value) for the next drawing on Friday, July 21, 2023.

The Powerball jackpot had been climbing ever higher alongside Mega Millions, until a lottery player in California won the Powerball jackpot worth more than $1 billion on the July 19 drawing. While we may not have won the big jackpot, several lucky Colorado players still won big in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing:

• $50,000 winner sold at King Soopers Fuel Center in Erie
• $50,000 winner sold at Loaf N Jug in Golden
• $50,000 winner sold at Circle K in Highlands Ranch
• $50,000 winner sold at Winners Corner in Pueblo
• $100,000 winner sold at 7-Eleven in Denver
• $100,000 winner sold at King Soopers in Castle Rock
• $100,000 winner sold at Loaf N Jug in Colorado Springs

Colorado also had two lucky Mega Millions winners for the July 18 drawing:

• $40,000 winner sold at Players Cafe in Edgewater
• $40,000 winner sold at Safeway in Firestone
