Start saying goodbye to your coworkers, because you might soon retire with a lottery ticket worth $1 billion.

OK, probably not. But Wednesday night's billion-dollar Powerball drawing -- combined with a Mega Millions jackpot that keeps growing -- means some lucky winners could become millionaires even if they don't hit the jackpot.

No one hit all six numbers in Tuesday night's Mega Millions jackpot drawing: 19, 22, 31, 37, 54 with a mega ball of 18.

That means the jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions drawing is worth an estimated $720 million, with a cash value of $369.6 million.

If you can't wait until Friday to buy 264 Ferrari LaFerraris (or whichever supercar you prefer), the drawing for Wednesday night's $1 billion Powerball jackpot drawing will happen at 10:59 p.m. ET.

The colossal jackpot is the seventh largest in US lottery history and the third largest Powerball jackpot. One insanely lucky winner scored the record-high $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot last year in California.
