There was no big winner for last night’s Powerball lottery. That means that the new totals for next week’s drawing have risen to once again. Check the special power preview below to see just how big this week’s new totals are before you buy your tickets.
The current crawl on the Powerball website reads:
“There were no jackpot winners for Saturday's drawing... The next drawing will be Wednesday, March 19th, 2014.”
That brand new totals for this week’s drawing have reached $80 million.
The estimated cash value for this week’s game is $45.9 million.
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.”
Be sure to check back in with us on Wednesday night to see if you won. Until then, keep hoping and stop working-Brick Dozer.
