Both Jackpots Clear 200 Million, Mega Millions rises to $209M, Powerball reaches $207M
Both Jackpots Clear 200 Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Wednesday September 9th
Mega Millions drew Tuesday night with 17, 30, 43, 58 and 66, plus Mega Ball 20. Nobody matched all six numbers. The 17 ranks among the five most-drawn white balls over the past six years, appearing 54 times, while Mega Ball 20 is tied among the least-drawn bonus balls with only 18 appearances. Were you expecting one of the quieter Mega Balls to grab the microphone? Friday’s jackpot is estimated at 209 million dollars, with a cash value of 89 million 700 thousand dollars. That could fund a traveling museum devoted entirely to lost Tupperware lids. The jackpot has rolled through 12 drawings and 42 days, a fairly ordinary stretch by recent standards.
Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Monday, September 7, with 15, 19, 28, 39 and 56, plus Powerball 3 and a 3X multiplier. No ticket matched all six numbers. The 15 repeated from the preceding draw—it has apparently renewed its lease—while 28 has appeared 77 times over the past six years, placing it among the most frequent white balls. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 207 million dollars, with a cash value of 89 million 300 thousand dollars. Wednesdays have produced 21 of the past 46 jackpot wins, a stronger showing than their share of drawings.
