Saturday’s US Powerball Without A Winner
Related Articles
Powerball jackpot continues to grow as there was no ticket holder to match all the numbers drawn on Saturday night’s (Dec. 16, 2017) draw. The winning numbers for its previous draw were 09, 35, 37, 50, 63, Powerball Power Number 11, and Power Play Number 2. It was a $249 million jackpot. One ticket holder, who purchased his/her ticket in New York, matched all five white numbers and won $1 million. He/she did not play the Power Play option; it would have increased the winnings to $2 million. Another ticket holder, who purchased his/her ticket in Michigan, matched four white numbers along with the Powerball and won $50,000.
It means the Wednesday’s (Dec. 20, 2017) drawing will be offering at least $269 million. You could be $171.3 million richer if you have bought a ticket for the current US Powerball draw. Else, get it today! In total, 956,643 ticket holders scooped prizes worth $4 or more. Among the winners, 29,041 were from Michigan.
