A $230-Million Jackpot Could Add Green to Your Black Friday

Two big jackpots could result in shoppers putting Georgia Lottery tickets on their lists ahead of the weekend drawings.

Black Friday could become “Green Friday” if the luck is with Georgia Lottery players this weekend.

The Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow after no one was able to match all the numbers in Tuesday’s drawing. As of Thursday morning, the big prize for Friday night’s drawing stood at an estimated $230 million, which means by the time Black Friday ends, someone could be expecting a lot of green to come their way.

The next Powerball drawing won’t happen until Saturday night, which will be after many folks have started their holiday shopping, but its jackpot is big enough to cover most anyone’s wish list. As of Thursday afternoon, it was valued at an estimated $70 million.
