Colorado Ticket Scores $2M, Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $277M, Powerball Jackpot Reaches $332M
Colorado Ticket Scores Two Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Wednesday September 23rd
Mega Millions drew Tuesday night with 7, 13, 26, 37 and 68, plus Mega Ball 8. No ticket matched all six, but one ticket holder in Colorado matched all five white balls for a 2 million dollar prize. What would you do with that kind of money? Number 68 repeated from Friday’s draw, refusing to surrender its chair at the table. Meanwhile, 13 returned after 24 drawings away. Friday’s jackpot rises to 277 million dollars, with a cash value of 117 million 300 thousand dollars. The run is now 16 drawings and 56 days without a jackpot winner, which remains close to the game’s usual wait.
Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Monday, September 21, with 2, 7, 9, 17 and 58, plus Powerball 20 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody hit the jackpot, while one ticket holder in the UK matched the five white balls for 1 million dollars. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 332 million dollars, with a cash value of 141 million 700 thousand dollars. That could buy a private railway whose dining car serves only baked potatoes. The run has reached 17 drawings and 40 days without a jackpot winner, still a fairly ordinary stretch. Wednesdays have produced 21 of 46 jackpot wins over the past six years, a stronger showing than their share of drawings.
