The search for the next Powerball winner continues, as Monday night’s drawing left players with no luck in claiming the jackpot prize. However, one lucky individual from Spring, Texas still struck it big! By matching all five white balls, but not the Powerball, they earned a hefty $2 million, pre-taxes.
Two other folks in Arkansas and Georgia each pocketed $2 million after also hitting the right numbers. This brings the total number of winners in Texas to a whopping 231,000, so if you happened to buy a ticket in the Lone Star State – be sure to double check it!
Wednesday’s drawing is now valued at an impressive $1 billion, making it the most lucrative lottery since April 19th when a player in New Jersey won close to $253 million. With no one having won the grand prize for 38 consecutive drawings, the jackpot only continues to grow. Will this Wednesday bring about a new winner? Be sure to check back and find out!
