Powerball Rolls to $81M, white ball 13 returns, Mega Millions climbs to $130M ... and more for August 23rd
Powerball Rolls to 81 Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Sunday August 23rd
Powerball drew Saturday night with 13, 31, 54, 57 and 65, plus Powerball 23 and a 3X multiplier. Nobody matched all six. White ball 13 returned after 23 drawings away, yet it remains the least-drawn white ball of the past six years, appearing 46 times. Thirteen finally clocked in after treating 23 drawings as unpaid leave. Did it make your Saturday lineup? Monday’s jackpot rises to 81 million dollars, with a cash value of 34 million 800 thousand dollars. This is only the fourth drawing in the new jackpot run, 10 days after a player hit the previous top prize.
Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Friday, August 21, with 1, 25, 34, 48 and 57, plus Mega Ball 24. Nobody matched all six, stretching the jackpot run to seven drawings and 24 days—still a fairly ordinary wait by recent standards. Tuesday’s jackpot climbs to 130 million dollars, with a cash value of 55 million 500 thousand dollars. That could buy a private island populated entirely by garden gnomes. Where would you put the first gnome?
