NATIONWIDE -- If you're feeling lucky, make sure you buy some Mega Millions tickets today.

The Mega Millions jackpot for tonight's drawing now stands at $343 million.

It's a huge amount of money, but the eye-popping numbers are more common than they used to be.

Mega Millions made a change in October which gives you more numbers to choose from and it also makes it harder to hit the jackpot.

That means it is more likely for the grand total to roll into the next drawing -- increasing jackpots.

Powerball made a similar change in 2015.

Wednesday's Powerball jackpot is also huge -- $440 million.
