DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Powerball prize goes to an estimated $161 million Saturday.
None of the tickets sold for Wednesday night's night drawing matched all six numbers drawn, which were: 9-16-21-30-52 and Powerball 9. The Power Play number was 2.
Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $140.6 million jackpot. Click here to find out more!
One ticket that matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball was sold in Pennsylvania. That ticket holder will win $200,000. Eight other similar tickets were also sold, two each were sold in North Carolina and Wisconsin and one each in Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri and South Carolina.
There was one Power Play Match Five winner in Louisiana.
Powerball is played in Pennsylvania, 28 other states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
And if you hit it, you still wouldn't be as rich as what John Kerry married.
I like to play, but I’d be really scared if I won, given the track record of those that have.
Now you’re in for it—you’re going to be inundated with the holier-than-thou who will lecture you on the terrible odds and that only idiots play the lottery.
We don’t have powerball in Florida but if we did, I’d sure take a chance on a nice big jackpot. A dream is worth a buck!
LOL! But what makes you think Lurch actually sleeps with Teresa?
Here in NH we have Powerball, and in Mass they have Mega Millions. So it's easy to get tickets for both. I wonder what the odds are of one person winning both jackpots in the same weekend?
I hear the typical lotto winner gets lots of death threats. I bet they'd really pour in if anyone won both these jackpots!
It’s funny how every one calls the lottery a tax on the stupid until the jackpot goes up to 100,200,or 300 million. I’m gonna buy a couple bucks worth and enjoy the dream while it lasts. That’s about all expect for my $2 bucks is some excapism for a few days.
