TO CLOSE

Some of us have our thermostat set to happy. Some are about to be depressed. How to win the lottery does it rock it up or down?
North Jersey record

If you dream of winning the Mega Millions jackpot, you should probably call a lawyer and be prepared to tell many people that no, because life is about to get a little hectic.

Here are the numbers for Friday, April 19:

18 – 25 – 43 – 44 – 57 and Megaball: 25

Megaplier was 4x

The Mega Millions jackpot was $ 175 million, with a $ 106.1 million cash option, according to the Mega Millions website.

There was no overall winner and the jackpot is expected to reach $ 192 million, with a $ 116.7 million cash option for the Tuesday night draw. A ticket sold in Iowa allowed each of the five white balls to win a million dollars.

The Powerball jackpot is estimated at $ 136 million for the Saturday night draw. The cash value for the draw is $ 83.6 million, according to the Powerball website.

Unfortunately, those who hope to stay in the shadows with future earnings are luckier. In New Jersey, winners must be identified. But perhaps not long after a bill was introduced in the NJ state legislature to allow the winners to remain anonymous.
