2015 has been one huge year for lottery players, and this week one of the biggest weeks for fortune seekers. There were two big winners for both the $188 million Powerball game and the $260 million Mega Millions. Check the report below for an update for the winners and the new totals for this weekend’s game.
The current Powerball lottery website news info crawl, reads:
“There was one winner sold by the Arizona Lottery for the last drawing's $188,900,000 grand prize.”
That means that this weekend’s all new game total has dropped down to a depressing $40 million with an estimated cash value jackpot option of $25.4 million.
There was also a huge $260 million jackpot winner for this past Tuesday’s Mega Millions lottery game.
That means that the total for Friday night’s Mega Millions lottery has dropped down to a measly $15 million, with an estimated cash value option of $9 million.
Despite all the recent big winners the Powerball lottery game is still warning players to play responsibly:
‘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 Multi-State Lottery Association supports the efforts of the National Council on Problem Gambling to provide help for persons who may have a gambling problem.
