Powerball Passes $200M, Three overdue Powerball numbers return, Mega Millions rises to $193M
Powerball Passes 200 Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Tuesday September 8th
Powerball drew Monday night with 15, 19, 28, 39 and 56, plus Powerball 3 and a 3X multiplier. Nobody matched all six numbers. The 19 returned after 31 drawings away, while 28 and 39 came back after absences of 29 and 27 drawings. That trio arrived like three overdue library books. Wednesday’s jackpot is estimated at 207 million dollars, with a cash value of 89 million 300 thousand dollars. That could buy a private fleet of Zambonis and a refrigerated warehouse shaped like a hockey puck. The jackpot has now rolled through 11 drawings and 26 days, still a fairly young run.
Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Friday, September 4, with 6, 26, 34, 59 and 61, plus Mega Ball 24. No ticket captured the jackpot. That 24 ranks as the most-drawn Mega Ball over the past six years, appearing 38 times. Would you have expected 24 to top the list? Meanwhile, 6 resurfaced after sitting out 49 drawings. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 193 million dollars, with a cash value of 82 million 800 thousand dollars. The prize has rolled for 11 drawings and 38 days, which remains shorter than a typical Mega Millions jackpot gap.
