News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from our blog readers across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $224 million ( $136.4 million in cash ) was not won and thus the Powerball jackpot has now started to build up to a significant amount worthy of Lottery enthusiast’s attention!.
In the draw last night , Saturday 9th February 2019 no ticket holders matched the main ball numbers of 01-02-03-07-39 and the Powerball of 25 and thus the annuitised $224 million jackpot was not won .
There were no first prize winners in Saturday night’s Powerball Draw but four lucky ticket holders , one from Florida , one from Illinois , one from Iowa and one from Texas won a second prize by matching the five main balls in the Powerball draw.
The second prize ticket holders from Florida , Illinois and Texas took home $1 million each in prize money with the second prize ticket holder from Iowa winning $2 million in prize money as they had selected the Powerplay option on their Powerball entry ticket ( Powerplay multiplier is always TWO at this level of prize money)
The Powerplay multiplier in Saturday night’s Powerball Draw was THREE.
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will increase to an estimated $242 million ( $148.1 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Wednesday 13th February 2019.
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 !
