Well, no one won this past Saturday's Powerball lottery, meaning the numbers for this Wednesday game are up. However, someone did win big last week, meaning that the new totals dropped significantly. Check our preivew below to see what the new totals are.
The all new Powerball totals for this week's Powerball drawing are a mere $50 million.
The official Powerball website is reporting on last night's win, writing:
“There was one winner sold by the California Lottery for the last drawing's $425,300,000 grand prize”.
The winner has yet to come forward, however, lottery spokesman Alex Traverso doesn’t seem to think it will take long, telling reporters:
"I give the person the first day to be shocked. and then the wheels start turning….I know if it were me, I wouldn't want to sit on the ticket until Monday."
However, Monday has come and gone and still the winner has not come forward.
The Powerball website offers the following info on ticket expiration dates:
“The Universe is decaying and nothing lasts forever. Ticket expiration periods vary from state to state--from 90 days to one year. They may also change from time to time. The back of your ticket will often give the expiration period for your state. If it is not on the back of your ticket, you might check with your state lottery by using the map. For obvious reasons, we don't want to give you wrong information about the time frame for cashing tickets with your lottery. In rare cases, your elected officials will change the expiration period (sometimes they run out of other stuff to vote on). They may shorten it even though you may find an old brochure or old ticket stock with a longer claim period. Often the lottery will honor your ticket in such a case, but if you plan to wait longer than 90 days to claim a big prize, you might just call up the lottery or go to the online site and double check on the expiration period.”
