With the excitement surrounding the Megamillions Jackpot win on Friday night it would be easy to think that all in Lotto land was calm and quiet . However news reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from across the pond that once again the Powerball jackpot was not won last night thus ensuring an ever growing rollover jackpot for the next draw on Wednesday 21st January.
In the Powerball Draw on Saturday 17th January 2015 no ticket holders matched the five main numbers of 15-16-23-27-36 and the Powerball of 09 and thus Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot of $194 million was not won .
Ten lucky ticket holders did win the second prize on Saturday night by matching the five main balls so clearly Lottery enthusiasts are getting closer to the jackpot !
The second prize winning ticket holders came from California , Florida , Illinois , Maryland , Massachusetts , Michigan , New Jersey ,Pennsylvania (x2) and Wisconsin.
The lucky winning second prize ticket holders from Illinois and Massachusetts selected the Powerplay option thus doubling their $1 million prize to $2 million as the Powerplay was 2.
The winning ticket holder from California won $1,995,933 with the remaining second prize winners winning $1 million each.
So with Wednesday night’s jackpot estimated at $208 million ( $142.7 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 !
