Wisconsin Ticket Scores $4M, Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs to $345M, Powerball Jackpot Reaches $440M
Wisconsin Ticket Scores Four Million!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Saturday October 3rd
Mega Millions drew Friday night with 6, 37, 40, 41 and 55, plus Mega Ball 10. Nobody claimed the jackpot, but one lucky Wisconsin ticket holder scored a 4 million dollar prize. After 32 drawings away, 40 returned, while 41 came back after 26; those two were late enough to miss several staff meetings. Which return surprised you more? Tuesday’s jackpot is estimated at 345 million dollars, with a cash value of 139 million 600 thousand dollars. With that cash, you could establish a national museum for lost food-container lids, hire curators for every shape, and fund a research wing devoted to the small blue one that vanished in 2019. The run has reached 19 drawings and 66 days without a jackpot winner, a fairly typical stretch by recent standards.
Moving to Powerball, the last draw was Wednesday, September 30, with 4, 6, 23, 33 and 44, plus Powerball 13 and a 4X multiplier. No one won the jackpot, while one Texas ticket holder landed 1 million dollars. White ball 33 ranks second among the most-drawn Powerball white balls over the past six years, with 80 appearances. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 440 million dollars, with a cash value of 181 million 300 thousand dollars. The jackpot has gone 21 drawings and 49 days without a winner, which sits near the middle of recent Powerball gaps.
