We have good news and bad news for Powerball lottery players. One of you just got a whole lot richer by winning this past weekend’s $90 million drawing. However, that means that this week’s game has dropped greatly.
The current Powerball lottery news info crawl reads:
“There was one winner sold by the Washington Lottery for the last drawing's $90,000,000 grand prize.”
The new jackpot total for tonight’s game is now $40 million with an estimated cash value of $25.3 million.
The winner for the new drawing has yet to come forward.
. The official Powerball lottery website is warning players to play responsibly,reporting:
“Lottery games are just that -- games. Lottery games are designed to be enjoyable entertainment for adults, and for the vast majority of lottery players, that's exactly what they are. Multi-State Lottery members sell lottery tickets for the benefits of their citizens, raising millions of dollars for worthy causes and projects. The Multi-State Lottery Association encourages all lottery players to be responsible in their amount of play. Never spend more than you can afford on any lottery product. Please remember, it's just a game.”
The website goes on to give players some helpful tips, writing:
Powerball® is a combined large jackpot game and a cash game. Every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, we draw five white balls out of a drum with 59 balls and one red ball out of a drum with 35 red balls. Draw sales cut off at least 59 minutes before the draw. Check for local cut-off time.
Players win by matching one of the 9 Ways to Win. The jackpot (won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball) is either an annuitized prize paid out over 29 years (30 payments) or a lump sum payment.”
Check back in with us tonight to see if you won. Until than, keep hoping and stop working.- Brick Dozer.
