There was no winning ticket sold for last Saturday's Powerball drawing meaning that the new total has jumped up once again. Check the report below to see just how big they got before you buy your ticket.
The new Powerball total has reached a whopping $150 million.
The Powerball website has reported on the latest big winners, writing:
“A St. Charles man and his wife are living the dream that they "never in a gazillion years" expected to have, after they discovered their Powerball ticket from March 22 was worth $96.5 million. John Brands said he checked his Missouri Lottery tickets with the numbers on the Lottery's website the morning after the drawing, before heading out to play golf. When all six numbers matched, he went to wake his wife, Susan.
"’I thought the house was on fire,’ she said. ‘I thought he was messing with me.’
“After showing her the ticket and the website, the pair said they "walked around the house shell-shocked."
"’I almost fell over,’ Susan said remembering the moment she saw all six numbers.
“John, a civil engineer, has already quit his job, but Susan, a student studying web design, plans to finish out the semester. John is originally from Portageville, and Susan grew up in Wichita, Kan. Both the Brands are 49-years-old.”
The powerball website also warns players not to risk is all on the game:
“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.
