There was one winning ticket in Friday's Mega Millions drawing, paying out an estimated $393 million, according to Mega Millions officials. It's the first jackpot winner in Mega Millions since April 28. The odds of winning either game are extreme -- one in 292 million for Powerball, and one in 259 million for Mega Millions. There's no disputing Americans love buying lottery tickets. They spent just over $80 billion on lottery games last year, according to the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries.
