28 People matched the 5 White Balls, but nobody had PB 13 Combination. It'll be close to $1.3 BILLION on Wednesday.
Holy cow. How is that possible? Tells how incredibly impossible it is to get the winning numbers. And yes, I’ll buy a few next time too.
so they get nothing for matching 5?
How rude.
1 Billion was my break point. I’m in the next game!
Guess I am buying a ticket for Wednesday then.
Don’t know what I’d do if I won. Couldn’t hide it in this stupid state with the lotto office’s stupid rules. Probably would have to jump the country for a decade or something.
1 millon....plus a multiplier if they chose too.
So they get a million each? That’s great!
I went to both Powerball’s website and usamega.com, they show nothing. Where did you hear this?
You were smart to check that page. The main page still says pending.
28 Winners of the 2nd prize is the most I’ve ever seen. CA had 6 of the 28 alone. Not sure where the others are from because they haven’t posted yet. It still shows as pending and the didn’t add 1/9 in the drop-down menu, but by changing the URL to match the date I was able to view the results earlier
Not really, there have been winners with the start amount.
Im in and if I win, HUGE PARTY AT MY MEGA MANSION..and not a penny will go to the Govt, if Bernie Sanders wants it he can take it out of my cold dead hands
Holy cow. How is that possible?
...
I heard that 75% of the combinations were sold. So there was a 1 in 4 chance that there wouldn’t be a winner.
Great!?
That’s terrible. So now when I remember to buy a ticket next week and it wins - I’ll only get $1,472,000,000 instead of $1,500,000,000! (That really puts the total amount in perspective!) I wonder how many of the million dollar winners are over-joyed, and how many are suffering over missing the powerball number?
Of all considered, thought you knew better. This is just pure nonsense, perfect bait for the tyrannical state. Never enough money for the state to consume and use against the public. When is it ever enough? Answer: never.
I wouldn’t turn my nose up at a million.
I’ll bet $100 to FR you won’t win.
“1 Billion was my break point. I’m in the next game!”
After federal, state, and local taxes that should work out to a cool $300 mil!
