Washington, D.C. - The POWERBALL drawing on Saturday, March 15, will feature a jackpot worth $275 million with an estimated cash option of $135.7 million!
Although there were no winners for Wednesday’s jackpot, one lucky winner matched four of the numbers plus the POWERBALL to win $10,000! Basil Pundas of Bowie, MD couldn’t believe is luck when he checked the internet for the winning numbers that day. “I felt... great! I just felt great!” The XM Satellite Radio Program Director purchased his ticket at Parkway Shell, 1765 New York Ave. N.E.
The current jackpot run started on January 19th, and Saturday night’s draw will be the 17th draw in this run. If the current jackpot hits Saturday evening, then this jackpot would rank as the 7th largest in the history of POWERBALL!
