Win Mega Millions Or Powerball, Buy Most Expensive Home In New York City

Attention, residents of the New York tri-state area, as well as anyone looking to become a resident of the New York tri-state area: Have I got a deal for you!

New York City’s most expensive home is on the market, according to CNBC. And it can be yours for a mere $110 million — which just so happens to be the estimated jackpot total for Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing. 

Of course, the cash value of the jackpot is significantly less — $49.4 million — but that’s still more than enough for a down payment for the property at 111 West 57th Street.

What does $110 million get you in New York City? Well, it’s nice. Four floors, over 11,000 square feet, an elevator, 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and 360-degree views of Central Park, the rivers, and the skyline.

It’s fit for a king. Or the late, great Logan Roy.

Anyway, buying some prime New York City real estate probably isn’t the worst thing you could do with your winnings. So good luck!

In the meantime, while nobody won the $100 million jackpot in last Friday’s Mega Millions drawing — numbers 9, 10, 12, 48, 60, and a gold Mega Ball of 16 — one player in California hit all five white balls, along with a 3x Megaplier, and took home $3 million.

That’s enough for a fourth-floor walkup in Hell’s Kitchen.

Lottery Geeks estimates 5 million tickets were sold for the drawing.

Powerball jackpot just barely behind

Hey guess what? Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing can also land you that four-story home in NYC, as the jackpot is up to $106 million.

The numbers for Monday’s drawing were 15, 16, 41, 48, 60, and a red Powerball of 21. Nobody won the jackpot, and there were no Match 5 winners.

Lottery Geeks estimates 7 million tickets were sold for Monday’s drawing.

Tickets for Mega Millions cost $5, while Powerball tickets cost $2, with most states offering the multiplier option for Powerball — which impacts any prize won except the jackpot — for an additional $1. Mega Millions comes with an automatic multiplier for any prize except the jackpot.

Both Powerball and Mega Millions are legal in all states except Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. Tickets for both draw games are also sold in Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, customers can buy tickets for Powerball, but not for Mega Millions.
