The sole $1 million winning ticket matched all 5 numbers but not the Powerball. It has now grown to $169 million with a cash option of $114.2 million. Through these, players pick their numbers and buy tickets online, while local agents actually purchase the tickets on their behalf, with prizes sent directly back to winners.

The UK Lotto top prize has been reset ahead of this Saturday’s draw, with a jackpot of £3.8 million just waiting to be won. In Michigan, there were 18,868 winners.
Residents of 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands play Powerball.
There were no jackpot winners in the June 14, drawing rolling the then-3 million grand prize over into Friday’s game, where the prize is expected to reach at least $310 million. Players select five white numbers from (1 to 69) and one red ball (1 to 26) Tickets cost $2 each.
An important point to note however, is the time differences around the world, so the 10 p.m. cut off time in Florida actually equals 3 a.m. the following morning in the United Kingdom for example.
A spokeswoman for the National Lottery said: “Tonight’s £21,054,380 Lotto jackpot win is the fifth biggest prize to be won on the game so far by a single ticket-holder”.
The Rolling Cash 5 jackpot for the next drawing is $130,000 for hitting all five numbers and the odds of winning are 1-in-575,757.
