Also from Wednesday’s drawing, a winning Powerball ticket worth $1 million from the was sold at Shop ‘N Save, 5001 Library Road, Bethel Park, Allegheny County. Drawings are held twice a week, and every one that passes without a victor means the prize grows larger, fed by the purchase of more $2 tickets.
Since Wednesday’s drawing, the Colorado lottery has sold just less than $1 million in Powerball tickets, according to spokeswoman Kelly Tabor.
Powerball is played in 44 States, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Statistically speaking, you are more likely to die in a vehicle crash on your way to the store to purchase a lottery ticket, than to actually win the lottery.
January’s $1.6 billion jackpot, split by three winners, was the nation’s biggest ever lottery prize.
Let’s be clear about something: Your odds of picking the winning numbers to win the Powerball jackpot are one in 292,201,338.
The lone winning ticket for the fifth largest Powerball of all time was sold in New Hampshire. So, if Saturday’s victor opts for the roughly $330.6 million cash option, they’ll need to scrape by with roughly $165 million after taxes. There are eight other prize tiers in each draw that could win you big bucks as well. “I’ll probably buy a few more Powerball tickets tomorrow since it’s so high”. All six numbers must be correct to win.
The drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. “So you know I am the victor”. Levis came to TJ’s with $125 and was able to purchase 62 tickets for the pool.
That’s the 8th largest lottery jackpot all time in the U.S. It’s the 5th largest in Powerball history.
