News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from our blog readers across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $260 million ( $159.1 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 16th February 2019 no ticket holders matched the main ball numbers of 29-30-41-48-64 and the Powerball of 01 and thus the annuitised $260 million jackpot was not won .
There were no first prize winners in Saturday night’s Powerball Draw but two lucky ticket holders , one from New Jersey and one from Virginia won a second prize by matching the five main balls in the Powerball draw.
The second prize ticket holder from New Jersey took home $1 million in prize money with the second prize ticket holder from Virginia 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 FOUR.
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will increase to an estimated $282 million ( $171.4 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Wednesday 20th 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 !
