The chances of Saturday’s draw rolling over again were almost as small as your chances of winning the lottery. But it did – so best you get a ticket for Wednesday’s draw – the biggest lottery jackpot in world history = R21 billion.
Listen to this, from Reuters:
No winner of record Powerball jackpot, next draw put at $1.3 billion
No one won Saturday’s record jackpot of nearly $950 million in the multi-state Powerball lottery, officials said, driving the haul for a winning ticket in the next draw to $1.3 billion, lottery officials said.
Millions of Americans anxiously checked their tickets for the winning combination of six numbers – 32, 16, 19, 57, 34 with a Powerball number of 13.
“No Powerball jackpot winner,” the Texas Lottery announced on Twitter hours after the numbers were drawn.
“Since nobody won tonight’s staggering $947.8 million jackpot, it has rolled to an estimated $1.3 billion for January 13,” said a statement from officials in California, one of the 44 states, together with Washington D.C. and two U.S. territories, that participate in Powerball.
You can play the Powerball lottery from anywhere in the world.
