With the news from across the pond focusing mainly on the ever increasing Megamillions jackpot ( not won last night – estimated at $188 million on Friday night !) it would be easy to ignore the other great Lottery Draw , the Powerball . However , as our blog readers from the States inform us this would be foolish as once again the Powerball jackpot is beginning to grow to a very health sum of money.
In the last Powerball Draw on Saturday 27th December 2014 no ticket holders matched the five main numbers of 07-10-11-14-36 and the Powerball of 15 and thus Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot of $110 million was not won .
Five ticket holders did win the second prize on Saturday night by matching the five main balls so Lottery enthusiasts are getting closer to the jackpot !
The second prize ticket holders on Saturday night came from California ( x2) , Idaho , Rhode Island and Texas.
The winning ticket holders from Idaho and Texas won $2 million – a $1 million prize that doubled due to the ticket holders using the Powerplay option which was 2 on Wednesday night ( Powerplay is always 2 at this level of prize ).
The lucky ticket holder from Rhode Island scooped $1 million with the two winners from California wining $392,116 each.
So with Wednesday night’s jackpot estimated at $120 million ( $77.2 million in cash) the Lotto Central team think that the Powerball draw certainly warrants serious consideration .
With a growing jackpot up for grabs the perplexing question for the Lotto Central team is whether to play the Powerball game on a single ticket or as part of a Lottery Syndicate. There is of course any easy answer to this perplexing question – do both !
So we are therefore off to our favourite international Lottery ticket provider , the Lotter to get on Wednesday night’s Powerball draw with a single ticket – click here if you would like to do likewise !
