Talk about a nice hit
The string of rollovers pushing the Powerball grand prize higher and higher came to an end Saturday. Early this morning Powerball officials posted online that a ticket matching all five numbers and the Powerball was sold in Rhode Island.
The jackpot had been estimated at $325 million on Saturday, but last-minute players pushed the grand prize to $336,400,000. This was the biggest jackpot that Florida residents have ever had a shot at.
The winning numbers drawn Saturday were 1-10-37-52-57, with a Powerball of 11.
The top prize for the next drawing, on Wednesday, falls to a paltry $40 million. But that's twice as much as the minimum jackpot used to be before officials raised the price of a ticket from $1 to $2. The move was aimed at sparking more mega-jackpots like Saturday's that lure in more folks who don't play regularly.
