Massachusetts Has Thousands of Powerball Winners, Jackpot Closes In On $1 Billion
There was no Powerball jackpot winner last night so the pot is now going to be $925 million for Saturday night’s drawing. But all hope is not lost if you bought a ticket in Massachusetts. There were thousands of winners here. The winners were not of the big prize. They weren’t of a million dollar prize either. However, do not throw your ticket away. There were 157 people who won prizes of $100. You achieve this in one of two ways. You either match 4 numbers OR 3 numbers plus the Powerball number. So remember, do NOT throw your ticket away before checking because even though it’s “only” $100, that money could go a long way especially these days. The winning numbers were: 1, 7, 46, 47, 63 and red Powerball 7. Saturday’s jackpot will be the ninth largest in lottery history.
So what is the next drawing looking like? According to a press release from Powerball: It’s the ninth largest in the American lottery game’s history. There have been 30 consecutive drawings without a big winner, dating back to July 19. That amount of money is nothing to sneeze at. If someone wins Saturday’s jackpot, they’ll have a cash pay out of $432.4 million. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Most people choose the lump sum payout to ensure they get all of their money while they’re still here. Smart move.
So here’s the deal. when you go to play Powerball tomorrow, why not grab some scratch tickets from your favorite convenience store to double your chance of winning?! We’ve put together a list of the tickets with the best odds for you to win in September AND that still have the grand prizes available. We like to make things easy for you.
