Iowans buying lottery tickets ahead of big jackpots

(Clive, IA) -- Iowa Lottery officials say there's a lot of chatter about the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots, both of which are over 300-(m) million dollars.

Mary Neubauer of the Iowa Lottery in Clive, Iowa says while the jack-pots are well below the record levels, it's the first time both lottery games have had jackpots above 300-(m) million at the same time. She says there could also be extra interest in the games, simply as a diversion from so much bad news during 2020.

The Mega Millions has an estimated 376-(m) million dollar jackpot for the Tuesday night drawing. The Powerball jackpot is an estimated 376-(m) million dollars for Wednesday night's drawing.
