Big news lotto fans. There was no winner for this past weekend’s Powerball lottery jackpot, meaning that the all new total has skyrocketed once again. Check the special power preview below to see what the new amount for this Wednesday's jackpot drawing is.
The new total for this week's Powerball drawing has reached a mind blowing $400 million, with a jaw dropping estimated cash value option of $227.8 million.
The Powerball lottery numbers are shooting up drastically, thanks in no small part to a rise in ticket prices as well as California's inclusion in the games.
The official Powerball lottery website explains everything you need to know in order to play the game, stating:
“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. Each ticket costs $2. If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payment will be increased each year by the percentage set out in the Powerball game rules.
“The second prize (won by matching five white balls in any order) is $1,000,000 paid in cash and any time you match the red Powerball, you win. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 32.”
Remember folks, that the lottery is just a game and should only be played by people who can play responsibly.
