News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $342.8 million ( $263.7 million in cash ) was not won and thus the Powerball Jackpot has now grown to a significant amount worthy of Lottery enthusiast’s attention!
In the draw last night , Saturday 26th December 2020 no ticket holders matched the main ball numbers of 10-24-27-35-53 and the Powerball of 18 and thus the annuitised $342.8 million jackpot was not won.
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will therefore increase to an estimated $363 million ( $279.2 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Wednesday 30th December 2020.
There were no first prize winners in Saturday night’s Powerball Draw however five lucky ticket holders , one from Florida , one from Kentucky ,one from North Carolina and two from Texas did win a second prize by matching the five main white balls in the Powerball Draw.
The second prize ticket holders from Florida and North Carolina took home $1 million each in prize money , the second prize ticket holder from Kentucky took home $2 million in prize money as they had selected the Powerplay option on their Powerball entry ticket with the two second prize ticket holders from Texas winning $1 million and $2 million as one of them had selected the Powerplay option on their Powerball entry ticket as well !
There were 942,150 winners in Saturday night’s US Powerball Draw with a total of $13,624,492 being paid out in prize money.
The Powerplay multiplier in Saturday night’s Powerball Draw was TWO.
