News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from our blog readers across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $768.4 million ( $476.9 million in cash ) was won as one lucky ticket holder from Wisconsin matched the five main balls and the Powerball to scoop the Powerball Jackpot !!.
In the draw last night , Wednesday 27th March 2019 one ticket holder matched the main ball numbers of 16-20-37-44-62 and the Powerball of 12 and thus the annuitised $768.4 million jackpot was won.
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will therefore start off again at an estimated $40 million ( $24.8 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Saturday 30th March 2019.
There was one first prize winner in Wednesday night’s Powerball Draw but also nine lucky ticket holders , one from Arizona , two from California, one from Indiana , one from Kansas , one from Minnesota , one from Missouri , one from New Jersey and one from New York won a second prize by matching the five main balls in the Powerball draw.
The second prize ticket holders from Arizona , Indiana ,Missouri , New Jersey and New York took home $1 million each in prize money with the second prize ticket holders from Kansas and Minnesota winning $2 million each in prize money as they had selected the Powerplay option on their Powerball entry ticket.(Powerplay multiplier is always two at this level of prize money thus 2 x$1 million= $2 million).
The second prize ticket holders from California took home $2,939,782 each in prize money.
The Powerplay multiplier in Wednesday night’s Powerball Draw was THREE.
Previous experience proves that the Powerball jackpot soon grows substantially after a couple of rollovers so keep an eye on the LottoCentral blog to keep track of the ever growing jackpot !
