One lucky winner could be hours away from taking home one of the largest jackpots in Mega Millions or Powerball history.
In more than two months without a winner, both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have rolled over to an estimated combined total of nearly $1 billion.
If anyone hits both jackpots the haul would be a whopping $995 million, the second-biggest payout in lotto history.
