Powerball rises to $290 million

October 13

There shouldn't be one Internet gambling persom out there that doesn't want to when this weekend's Powerball jackpot. If you are in one of 27 US states participating in the drawing (or you know someone in one of the states that can get you tickets) get moving and get your tickets. The jackpot fro Powerball is still growing. Even after the main jackpot was not achieved last night, there were still some 1,751,818 players across the country that did win lesser prizes. In fact, more than $16.6 million in prize money was won by those winners.

Still, nobody had a ticket correctly matching all 6 numbers in last night's drawing. Because of this, the jackpot will reach an estimated $290 million for Saturday's drawing.

If one lucky person does win this coming Saturday's drawing on the 15th, they stand to get a cash option of approximately $141.9 million. Stop playing online bingo long enough to run to the store and get some tickets people.

Last night's drawing showed the following numbers: 4 - 9 -18 - 51 - 54 and the Powerball was 10. The Power Play multiplier was 5.

Fourteen players matched all 5 white balls and won $200,000 each. One player that won $200,000 purchased the Power Play option multiplying their windfall 5 times for a total of $1 million cash.

91 people even matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Out of the 91 players that one at the ten thousand dollar level, 15 of them purchased the Power Play option and had their money multiplied by 5 to earn $50,000. Not bad for laying down an extra buck.

More than 187,000 winners purchased the option increasing their personal winnings five fold..

One thing this lottery in particular in noted for is having thousands of lesser prize money winners.
