Lottery: No jackpot winner in $317M Powerball drawing

[Betallsports]

Lottery officials say no jackpot winner was selected in the latest $317 million Powerball drawing.


Sue Dooley is the senior drawing manager for the Multi-State Lottery Association, which oversees Powerball. She says there will be another drawing Saturday after no one matched Wednesday's winning numbers.


Each drawing without a winner rolls the jackpot over and makes it more lucrative. The Powerball website shows the current estimated haul for the next drawing is $360 million.


Until Wednesday's drawing, there had been something of a big-time prize drought, with nearly a year passing since a jackpot above $300 million.


Powerball is played in 43 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of matching all six numbers in the game are 1 in about 175 million.

I love when people "just have to buy a lottery ticket!!" when the jackpot is huge....but never buy one when the jackpot is 5 or 10 million. So $5 million won't change your life but $300 mil will?

Costs the same $2 to enter every drawing, why not choose to play it when the prize is higher.

Odds are better when less people are playing. I won't always buy a ticket when the jackpot gets big. When it does get hit, I will buy 1 or 2.
