Powerball Climbs to $119M, New Mexico ticket-holder wins $2M, Mega Millions reaches $145M
Powerball Climbs to 119 Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Thursday August 27th
Powerball drew Wednesday night with 12, 32, 45, 50 and 58, plus Powerball 2 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody matched all six. Thirty-two returned after 33 drawings away, the longest break in the lineup, while four of the five white balls were even. The odd side sent 45 alone to handle the paperwork. Saturday’s jackpot is 119 million dollars, with a cash value of 51 million 100 thousand dollars. What would you do with that kind of money? The run is six drawings and 14 days old, a short stretch by recent standards.
Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Tuesday, August 25, with 7, 10, 47, 48 and 50, plus Mega Ball 14. Nobody claimed the jackpot, but one lucky ticket holder in New Mexico scored 2 million dollars. Ten ranks third among white-ball appearances over the past six years, with 56. Do you remember seeing it this often? Friday’s jackpot is 145 million dollars, with a cash value of 61 million 900 thousand dollars. That could buy a private island stocked entirely with garden gnomes. The jackpot run stands at eight drawings and 28 days, still a fairly ordinary stretch.
