Powerball Lottery Winner Results Update & New May 7 Drawing Totals: Check Before you Buy Tickets

The results for Saturday night’s Powerball lottery drawings are in and no one won. That means this Wednesday’s drawing has shot up. Check the new totals below before you buy your ticket.

The new totals for this week’s Powerball lottery drawing have reached a life changing $70 million, with a cash value of $70 million with an estimated cash value of $41 million.

The current crawl on the Powerball website reads:

“There were no jackpot winners for Saturday's drawing... The next drawing will be Wednesday, May 7th, 2014.”

“The website goes on to report on the latest big winner, 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.

“As for spending their windfall, the Brands said they plan to "treat themselves to some decent cars," since the cars they currently drive are eight and 10 years old. They also plan to travel, including a trip to New Zealand.

"’We're nerds,’ Susan joked, as she explained they are also movie buffs. ‘That's where 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' were filmed.’”
