Over $1 Billion Jackpot Tempts Dreams: What Could You Buy if You Hit the MegaMillions or Powerball

(KNSI) — Blondie once sang, “Dreaming is free,” and you may be daydreaming about what you would do if you won the lottery now that over $1 billion is up for grabs between the two national jackpots.

So, what could you buy? New car? Caviar? Four star daydream? A football team?

If you want to go big, a private jet costs between $2 million and $100 million.

If traveling is on your agenda, “the most epic world cruise ever to set sail” from Royal Caribbean will take you to 11 world wonders, all seven continents, and over 60 countries. You’d be at sea for 274 nights with other jet-set world travelers. Prices vary from $19,895 to $37,268 per passenger.

Looking to stick closer to home? The most expensive house in Minnesota is the $13.75 million palace with 1,700 feet of lake shore on the coveted Wayzata Bay on Lake Minnetonka.

You could also throw the most epic pizza party ever to celebrate. That amount of money will get you 58 million large cheese pizzas at House of Pizza.

The MegaMillions drawing is set for Tuesday night at 10:00 p.m. CDT with an estimated jackpot of $893 million. The cash option is $421.4 million – before taxes, of course.

The Powerball has also been growing since December, and the estimated jackpot for Wednesday night’s drawing is $687 million with a cash option of $327.3 million before taxes. That drawing is also at 10:00 p.m. CDT.

Tickets for both are $2 a pop.
