SAN ANSELMO, CA - JANUARY 03: Powerball and Mega Millions lottery tickets are displayed on January 3, 2018 in San Anselmo, California. The Powerball jackpot and Mega Millions jackpots are both over $400 million at the same time for the first time. The Mega Millions $418 million jackpot would be the fourth largest and the $460 million Powerball jackpot would be the seventh largest in the game's history. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

Unfortunately, none of us are billionaires this morning. There was no winner for last night’s mega 1.2 billion dollar Powerball jackpot. The winning numbers drawn were 2, 11, 22, 35 and 60 with the powerball number being 23. There have been 39 consecutive Powerball drawings since August with no winner, growing the jackpot to one of the largest in U.S. history.  The record is a $1.586 billion Powerball grand prize shared by winners in California, Florida and Tennessee in January 2016.  With the jackpot not being claimed last night, that means the next drawing, which takes place Saturday night, will be an estimated 1.5 billion dollars.

Although there was no winner of the grand jackpot, there were some winners of “smaller” cash prizes. Three of which are in Massachusetts. Nantucket sold a $100,00 ticket and Peabody and Canton each sold one $50,000 ticket. If you purchased any tickets in these towns, CHECK THEM.

Playing Powerball? Play THESE Numbers, They're the Most Lucky

If you’re someone who only plays the lottery when the jackpot is REALLY big, now’s your time to shine. Tonight’s Powerball drawing is worth an estimated $1 BILLION. (Only five states don’t do the Powerball: Nevada, Utah, Alabama, Hawaii, and Alaska.) No one’s hit the jackpot since August 3rd, when somebody in Pennsylvania won $207 million. There have been 37 drawings since then, and nobody’s won.
$1 billion makes it the second-largest Powerball jackpot in history. The $1.59 billion that three people split in 2016 is still #1. (There was also a $1.3 billion jackpot this past July, but that was the Mega Millions.) If you’re looking for some lucky numbers, you could use birthdays, or just keep it random. But THIS set of digits seems pretty lucky right now. New York has a “Take 5” lottery it does twice a day, a mid-day drawing, and an evening drawing. And last Thursday, the same set of numbers hit BOTH TIMES. That’s only five numbers, and the Powerball has six. So you’ll have to come up with the last one on your own.

Here’s how crazy that is . . .

The odds of hitting the Powerball tonight with all six numbers are 1 in 292 million. The odds of those five numbers hitting twice in a row were 1 in 331 BILLION.

A lottery official confirmed it really did happen though, and said there wasn’t any foul play. Quote, “The numbers were properly vetted and verified on site.”

Here are the five lucky numbers that were drawn, followed by the numbers that have been the most drawn in Powerball history.
