Lottery official: No winner in $500M Powerball jackpot

Since someone already won $1 million at this place, people from out of the area are coming to get their Powerball tickets.

It’s all in the numbers, whether you’re picking your own or letting the computer do it for you. So that $500 million, reduced to $306 million for those who prefer the lump-sum payment, really will be no more than $229.5 million.

According to New Mexico Lottery officials, this is the sixth largest jackpot in lottery history and the fourth largest in Powerball history.

The Powerball drawing consists of five white balls and one red Powerball.

The reason the odds are so much longer: Players now have more numbers to choose from.

The winning numbers for the estimated $524 million Powerball jackpot have been chosen – 47, 2, 63, 62, 11 and the Powerball of 17. At the current odds, every number has about a 7 percent chance of appearing in any given drawing.

He said: “Several hours in the busy after-work period to come… we now project MI players will purchase almost 3 million Powerball tickets today for a crack at tonight’s $500 million jackpot”.

Business tripled at both Speedway on West State Street and the Marathon gas station on Stone Road. A group of co-workers in Roswell won $206 million in 2008. This will verify that you and only you can claim your tickets in case they get misplaced.

“I’m just so excited because this is my first time and I feel that I will hit”, said Michael Hammond in Dallas.

“I like those numbers”.

If no one wins tonight that jackpot will continue to rise, that lucky victor could be picked tonight at 10. “Anything in life that’s worth having takes time”, says Lustig.
