News reaches Lotto Central HQ this morning from across the pond that last night’s Powerball Jackpot of $205.3 million ( $137.9 million in cash ) was not won and therefore the Powerball jackpot has now started to build up nicely again following the recent jackpot win.
In the draw last night , Saturday 20th March 2021 no ticket holders matched the main ball numbers of 01-06-22-42-61 and the Powerball of 04 and thus the annuitised $205.3 million jackpot was not won.
The Powerball Lottery jackpot will therefore increase to an estimated $220 million ( $147.8 million in cash) in the next Powerball Lottery Draw which will be drawn on Wednesday 24th March 2021.
There were no first prize winners in Saturday night’s US Powerball Draw however three lucky ticket holders , one from Florida , one from Illinois and one from Virginia did win a second prize by matching the five main white balls in the Powerball Draw.
The second prize ticket holders from Florida and Illinois took home $1 million each in prize money with the second prize ticket holder from Virginia took home $2 million in prize money as they had selected the Powerplay option on their Powerball entry ticket. ( Powerplay mutiplier capped at 2 at this level of prize payout)
There were 779,609 winners in Saturday night’s US Powerball Draw with a total of $10,462,354 being paid out in prize money.
The Powerplay multiplier in Saturday night’s Powerball Draw was THREE.
