Powerball Passes Half a Billion, California ticket holder scores $1M, Mega Millions climbs to $385M
Powerball Passes Half a Billion!
This is The Lottery Rundown for Sunday October 11th
Powerball drew Saturday night with 1, 4, 19, 33 and 51, plus Powerball 15 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody hit the jackpot, but one lucky California ticket holder scored 1 million dollars. One and 51 returned after 55 and 56 drawings away—the numerical equivalent of two coworkers arriving late with matching excuses. Which comeback gets your vote? Meanwhile, 33 remains the second-most-drawn white ball over the past six years, appearing 81 times. Monday’s jackpot climbs to 538 million dollars, with a cash value of 220 million 600 thousand dollars. With that money, you could establish a private railway whose only purpose is delivering warm garlic bread to whichever room you happen to be in.
Moving to Mega Millions, Friday’s numbers were 2, 7, 16, 63 and 70, plus Mega Ball 8, with no jackpot winner. Seventy resurfaced after 20 drawings away and remains tied among the five least-drawn white balls over the past six years. Two returned after an even longer 21-draw absence, giving the low and high ends of the ticket a coordinated reentry. Tuesday’s jackpot stands at 385 million dollars, with a cash value of 154 million 800 thousand dollars. The run has reached 21 drawings and 73 days without a jackpot winner, slightly longer than average but nowhere near rare territory.
