TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The jackpots for two national lottery games this weekend continue to grow! 

No winner was selected in Tuesday night's Mega Millionsdrawing, boosting the estimated jackpot to $405 million.  That jackpot has since been increased to $420 million for Friday night's drawing.

The game's last winner was on July 24th, when an 11-member office pool hit the $543 million jackpot.

If you miss out on Friday night's jackpot, you still have a chance to win big money on Saturday night.  This weekend's Powerball drawing offers a jackpot of $253 million.

Tickets for each game must be purchased by 10 p.m. that night, and the drawing can be watched live on Fox 4 in Southwest Florida.
