US Powerball News

Powerball’s $130 million jackpot was won by a New York resident last night. The jackpot is once again set to its $40 million starting amount for the upcoming draw.

This was the 8th time this year that a Powerball jackpot of more than $100 million dollar was awarded. This happy occasion did have a less happy side to it. Why? Well, with this jackpot win, Powerball lost its head to head ‘battle’ with Mega Millions. The Mega Millions jackpot still stands on an impressive $165 million. Can Powerball make up for it in a new run of rollovers?

Five second place prize winners

Other big winners include five second prize winners. One each from Florida, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All of them missed out on the Power Play option, but still won a solid million each. Congratulations!

More Gold for Golden State, as a gigantic $216 million Powerball jackpot was scooped up in sunny California recently.

Powerball once again lived up to its reputation of being a true millionaire maker. The American lottery hadn’t delivered a jackpot since September 18th, when a Columbia, South Carolina resident pocketed the gigantic $400 million prize. After many a rollover, on October 23rd, it was time for California to finally win the jackpot. Amazingly enough, this happened with the help of Powerball number 13, among the other winning numbers. Ample proof of how lucky this supposedly unlucky number can be!

Powerball jackpot lump sum value: $125 million

A lucky Golden State resident matched all six numbers, the five regular numbers and the additional Powerball, in draw number 85 on October 23rd. Those six lucky numbers were good for a jackpot prize worth $216 million! The lucky winner chose to receive this huge Powerball jackpot in a one-time, lump sum payment. His bank account will skyrocket with the addition of the $124,8 million jackpot’s cash value that remained after taxes!
