News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from our blog readers across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $229 million ( $138.3 million in cash ) was not won and has now started to build up again after the recent jackpot win.
In the draw last night , Saturday 4th February 2017 no ticket holders matched the main ball numbers of 06-13-16-17-52 and the Powerball of 25 and thus the annuitised $229 million jackpot was not won.
No ticket holders won the first prize last night but two lucky ticket holders , one from New Jersey and one from Texas won a second prize by matching the five main balls in the Powerball draw.
The second prize ticket holder from New Jersey won $1 million with the second prize ticket holder from Texas winning $2 million as they had selected the Powerplay option on their entry ticket .
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will therefore increase to an estimated $255 million ( $154.4 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Wednesday 8th February 2017.
Previous experience shows that the Powerball jackpot grows rapidly so the Lotto Central team advise blog readers to keep an eye on the Lotto Central blog to monitor progress !
