Akil Watts scores first MLS goal as CITY SC falls to Portland Heartland Newsfeed
No Powerball winner Wednesday, next jackpot worth $510 million
TALLAHASSEE, Fla./RAYMOND, Ill. (Heartland Newsfeed/UPI) — No one became $432 million richer overnight.
Lottery officials said no tickets in the United States hit all five Powerball numbers in Wednesday night’s draw. That means Saturday’s drawing will offer more than a half-billion dollars — $510 million — or a cash option of $324 million.
Although Wednesday’s results – 9, 15, 43, 60 and 64, with 4 for the Powerball number — yielded no grand prize winner, tickets hitting five of the six matching numbers, worth $1 million each, were sold in California, Texas and Florida.
Officials said the Texas ticket holder played the power play option, which increased the winnings to $2 million.
Saturday night, among other possible matches locally and nationwide, a person who has yet to become public purchased a winning ticket in Raymond, Ill. , which matched all five of the drawn numbers, but nothing else. The winning ticket was purchased at the West End Food Mart, which will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Wednesday’s jackpot was the ninth largest in the history of the game. Saturday’s will be the fourth largest. The all-time largest jackpot was last year’s near $1.6 billion prize.
Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning are 1 in 292.2 million.
