The Powerball lottery drawing totals are slowly starting to build back up, following the recent back to back wins. Check the power preview below to see just how much the totals have reached before you buy your tickets.
The Powerball lottery has reached $70 million. Where that does not sound like much compared to tonight’s whopping Mega Millions jackpot, try and remember that is still more money than many of you will ever see in your measly lives.
The current crawl on the Powerball website reads:
“There were no jackpot winners for Wednesday's drawing... The next drawing will be Saturday, March 15th, 2014.”
The ticket holders for both of the recent Powerball lottery drawings have yet to come forward.
Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission is warning against lottery scams, reporting:
“Scam operators--often based in Canada--are using the telephone and direct mail to entice U.S. consumers to buy chances in high-stakes foreign lotteries from as far away as Australia and Europe. These lottery solicitations violate U.S. law, which prohibits the cross-border sale or purchase of lottery tickets by phone or mail.
Still, federal law enforcement authorities are intercepting and destroying millions of foreign lottery mailings sent or delivered by the truckload into the U.S. And consumers, lured by prospects of instant wealth, are responding to the solicitations that do get through--to the tune of $120 million a year, according to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, says most promotions for foreign lotteries are likely to be phony. Many scam operators don’t even buy the promised lottery tickets. Others buy some tickets, but keep the “winnings” for themselves. In addition, lottery hustlers use victims’ bank account numbers to make unauthorized withdrawals or their credit card numbers to run up additional charges.”
