Two million-dollar Powerball tickets were sold in Tulsa.
To play Powerball, players can choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one number – the Powerball number – from 1 to 26, or they can have the numbers randomly selected by a computer.
The drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays. There were 34 players that matched four of the main numbers and the Powerball, 5 had the Power Play option and won $250,000 and the rest won $50,000 each.
That means estimated jackpots rise to $475,000 for Lotto and to $236 million for the Powerball. “However, the Illinois Lottery makes transfers to the Common School Fund based on a legislative formula and is not necessarily affected by big jackpot runs”, Rossi said.In fiscal 2014, the Illinois Lottery sold $2.891 billion in tickets.
