Powerball Jackpot Climbs To $225M
LOS ANGELES (CBLA.com) — Dream big or go home. If you win more than $200 million you get to dream in a bigger house.
No one matched all six numbers in Saturday's Powerball draw so the jackpot in next Wednesday's drawing is an estimated $225 million.
The numbers drawn Saturday night were 22, 23, 30, 37, 39 and the Powerball number was 16. The jackpot was an estimated $196 million.
There were two tickets sold with five numbers, but missing the Powerball number -- one in Georgia and one New York and is each worth $1 million.
Powerball is played in 43 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Jackpots for the $2 game start at $40 million and rolls over every time there is no winner. The record jackpot reached $590 million in May 2013.
