If you are dreaming about the luxury vehicle you will buy or the vacation you will take if you win the Powerball jackpot on Saturday night, keep in mind that you may not get the entire $70 million jackpot even if you match all six numbers.
The top prize now rises to an estimated $80 million for the annuity, or $51.2 million cash, for Wednesday’s drawing.
A $1 million second-prize-winning New Jersey Lottery ticket has been sold in Mercer County, matching the 5 white balls for the Saturday drawing.
Mega Millions has reached $39 million for Tuesday night’s drawing after Friday saw no big victor. The winning numbers drawn were 3, 13, 17, 42 and 52 with a Powerball of 24. Tonight’s results in turn stand at $70 million.
The Rolling Cash 5 jackpot for the next drawing is $100,000 for hitting all five numbers and the odds of winning are 1-in-575,757.
Another $1 million ticket was sold in Iowa.
Classic Lotto draws at 7:05 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Prizes of $1 million must be claimed at Iowa Lottery headquarters in Clive.
“Congratulations to these fortunate lottery players who purchased the winning tickets”, said Hedinger.
