Powerball Rolls to $251M, White ball 23 returns, Mega Millions climbs to $227M
Powerball Rolls to 251 Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Sunday September 13th
Powerball drew Saturday night with 14, 16, 23, 58 and 69, plus Powerball 3 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody matched all six, so the jackpot rolls again. White ball 23 returned after 78 drawings away. At that point, it was less a vacation than a witness-protection program. Fourteen also came back after 15 drawings away, while 58 had surfaced just three draws earlier. Monday’s jackpot is estimated at 251 million dollars, with a cash value of 106 million 600 thousand dollars. That could buy a minor-league ballpark with every concession stand named for a different potato. Which potato gets the luxury suite? The run now covers 13 draws and 31 days, still shorter than the usual wait between Powerball jackpot wins.
Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Friday, September 11, with 3, 30, 33, 53 and 62, plus Mega Ball 22. Nobody matched all six. Three is the fourth most-drawn white ball over the last six years, appearing 54 times, while 53 and 62 returned after 20 drawings away. Tuesday’s jackpot is estimated at 227 million dollars, with a cash value of 96 million 300 thousand dollars. Its 13-draw, 45-day run remains fairly ordinary by recent Mega Millions standards.
