10 New Yorkers Won a Sizable Chunk of the $715M Powerball!
At least 10 New Yorkers will wake up this morning with a little extra cash in their pocket - and one New Yorker is a millionaire this morning - after last night's $715 million dollar Powerball drawing from the New York Lottery!
Was there a Jackpot winner in Wednesday night's Powerball? NO!
The winning numbers from last night's Powerball were 19, 36, 37, 46, 56 + 24.
None of the Powerball tickets sold in the entire USA matched those numbers exactly - and as a result, the Jackpot grows larger!
Good news for anyone who wants to play Powerball this weekend, as Saturday night's grand payout is expected to soar above $800M!
New Yorkers scored pretty big Wednesday night, and while there wasn't a jackpot winner, several from New York got their piece of Powerball pie!
8 New Yorkers were able to claim 3rd place equaling $50,000, and one New Yorker with 5 numbers correct hit for $1M according to the New York Lottery.
The million-dollar winning ticket was one of 6 tickets sold across the country according to the NY Lottery. There were also million-dollar winners from California, Connecticut, Illinois, and Michigan.
New York's Powerball winning ticket was sold at Cumberland Farms in Chester, NY; two hours south of the Capital Region!
According to the NY Lottery, the odds of hitting a Powerball jackpot is 1 in 292 million.
The odds of winning $1M is 1 in 11 million and the $50K winners had odds of 1 in 900K.
The winning numbers from last night's Powerball were 19, 36, 37, 46, 56 + 24.
Wednesday's Powerball jackpot had gotten so large because the drawing had zero winners for nearly 3 months. The last winner of a Powerball jackpot was back on August 3rd.
The Powerball drawing is televised every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 p.m., and Saturday night's grand payout is expected to soar above $800M!
