If You Want to Win the Powerball Buy Your Ticket In This State – Definitely NOT Massachusetts!

By Beasley Media Editorial

So we’re heading toward $1.5 Billion this Saturday – the third largest jackpot in US history. Will someone in Massachusetts win the big one? I mean, everyone has equal odds – BUT – when we look state-by-state the chances of a Massachusetts resident winning look pretty bleak. The last time someone from Mass won the Powerball jackpot was on August 23, 2017 when Mavis Wanczyk won the $133.2 million big prize. Before that you’d have to go back to December 11, 2013 when Maureen & Stephen Hinckley split the jackpot with another winner from Nebraska.

I found a database of winners and counted up all of the Powerball Jackpot winners from each state. What I found is that if you really want to win, Pennsylvania is where it’s at. Massachusetts is not. And one New England state has had ZERO winners. Yikes. Here’s how it all shakes out:

  • #1 - This State Has the MOST Powerball Jackpot Winners

    Pennsylvania
    # of Big Winners: 18

  • #2 - Florida

    # of Big Winners: 16

  • #3 - Indiana & New York

    # of Big Winners: 12

  • #4 - California, Missouri, & New Jersey

    # of Big Winners: 11

  • #5 - Louisiana

    # of Big Winners: 10

  • #6 - Wisconsin

    # of Big Winners: 9

  • #7 - Arizona

    # of Big Winners: 8

  • #8 - Tennessee, South Carolina, & Minnesota

    # of Big Winners: 7

  • #9 - Connecticut & Iowa

    # of Big Winners: 6

  • #10 - West Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Michigan, Kentucky, & Delaware

    # of Big Winners: 5

  • #11 - Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma, & MASSACHUSETTS

    # of Big Winners: 4

  • RHODE ISLAND

    # of Big Winners: 3

  • VERMONT

    # of Big Winners: 2

  • MAINE

    Maine has the dubious honor of being the only New England states with ZERO WINNERS so far. It’s about time Maine gets a winner so maybe that’s actually where it’s at?

  • If you want to win, play this number!

    In the past month, 19 has been the most drawn number by far (for the first five numbers). It was drawn 5 times. Will the hot streak continue and help you win 1.5 bills? Good luck!
