No Powerball Winners; Saturday’s Jackpot Now $800 Million
January 7, 2016
No one held a ticket with all the winning numbers in Wednesday’s estimated $524 million Powerball jackpot — 47, 2, 63, 62, 11 and the Powerball of 17.
That means the jackpot rolls over to what will the largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history estimated at $800 million (or $496 million lump sum) for this Saturday. And that number could grow even higher.
The prize payout started at $450 million and surged to $524 million Wednesday night, the fourth largest Powerball jackpot of all time.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Powerball players swarmed two lottery retailers along Highway 97 at the state line in Davisville, creating a traffic backup at times. But overall, players found lines that moved relatively quickly.
Powerball is played by 44 states and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

No John mans desire to want more leads to 60-70 hour work weeks. My wife and kids would sure appreciate me winning the lottery where I could spend more time at home. Not only could I make the lives of less fortunate alot easier I could benefit by only having to work 40 hours and spend more time with my family. Good for you for not having to by lotto tickets, but don’t judge others who are because not all people are greedy!!!
How sad, many of you will line up and blow a portion of you paycheck to create one millionaire, then complain about how you are in the 99% and how the wealthy have taken from you and abused you, what hypocrisy, so sad, and many americans live paycheck to paycheck, well I don’t feel sorry for yall. God has blessed me so I don’t have to buy lotto tickets. Y’all are chasing a pipe dream. Trust in Jesus and he will help you with your contentment issues! Mans desire to want more leads to lone lines at the convenience store and empty pockets.
