News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from our blog readers across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $262.4 million ( $199.7 million in cash ) was not won and thus the Powerball Jackpot has now started to build up nicely to a significant amount worthy of Lottery enthusiast’s attention!.
In the draw last night , Wednesday 9th December 2020 no ticket holders matched the main ball numbers of 11-14-31-47-48 and the Powerball of 04 and thus the annuitised $262.4 million jackpot was not won.
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will therefore increase to an estimated $277 million ( $210.8 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Saturday 12th December 2020.
There were no first prize winners in Wednesday night’s Powerball Draw however two lucky ticket holders , one from Florida and one from Connecticut did win a second prize by matching the five main white balls in the Powerball Draw .
The second prize ticket holder from Florida took home $1 million in prize money with the second prizr ticket holder from Connecticut taking home $2 million in prize money as they had selected the Powerplay multiplier on their Powerball entry ticket.( Powerplay multiplier is capped at 2 at this level of prize money)
The Powerplay multiplier in Wednesday night’s Powerball Draw was THREE.
There were 708,271 prize winners in Wednesday night’s Powerball Draw with $8,420,528 being paid out in prize money.
Previous experience proves that the Powerball jackpot soon grows substantially after a couple of rollovers so keep an eye on the LottoCentral blog to keep track of the ever growing jackpot !
