Feeling lucky in the new year? Lottery players have two chances at winning giant jackpots this week.
The Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots have both topped more than $400 million -- that's the second time in history that both jackpots were larger than $300 million, according to Mega Millions officials.

Tonight, players have the opportunity to win the Powerball for $460 million annuity prize, or a $291 million cash prize.
Powerball hasn't had such a big prize since August, when a Massachusetts player won a $758.7 million jackpot.
The odds of winning the jackpot is incredibly small. Powerball has odds at one in 292.2 million.
A jackpot for the Mega Millions lottery climbed to an estimated $418 million, the fourth largest in the game’s history -- after no tickets matched all six numbers during Tuesday’s grand prize drawing.
The next drawing will be Friday night.
The Mega Millions lottery is offered in 44 U.S. states, the Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Powerball tickets are sold in 44 states, and Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
