News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from our blog readers across the pond that after several jackpot rollovers last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $758.7 million ( $480.5 million in cash ) was won by one lucky ticket holder from Massachusetts ! ( we bet the lights didn’t go down in Massachusetts last night !!)
In the draw last night , Wednesday 23rd August 2017 one lucky ticket holder matched the main ball numbers of 06-07-16-23-26 and the Powerball of 04 and thus the annuitised $758.7 million jackpot was won.
In last night’s Powerball draw one lucky ticket holder scooped the first prize but also forty ticket holders won a second prize by matching the five main balls in the Powerball draw.
The second prize ticket holders came from :
