Powerball Climbs Again, $404 Million for Saturday Night
No one matched all six numbers in last night's Powerball drawing, increasing the jackpot to an estimated $404 million for Saturday night's drawing. Tomorrow night's Mega Millions jackpot is an estimated $1.34 billion dollars.
The winning Powerball numbers drawn Wednesday were: 4-8-46-47-48, Powerball: 5.
A basic Powerball ticket costs $2, and to claim the big prize you'll need to match five numbers (1-69), plus the Powerball (1-26). The odds? 1 in 292,301,388. Assuming you win the Powerball jackpot Saturday, you can choose to take the lump-sum cash option and take home $212 million.
Last April April a Mega Millions ticket sold in Ramsey, Minnesota matched all numbers for a $106 million dollar payday. It was the first Mega Millions jackpot winner in the state.
