The awesome Mega Millions jackpot was won last week, but not the Powerball. Unfortunately, nobody managed to win the extensive Powerball jackpot last Saturday. But what is not unfortunate is the fact that 11 straight draws without a jackpot winner brought the massive prize to an astonishing $220 million. Sport

The lump sum option would provide the winner with about $118.8 million while the amount one would receive after taxes differs from state to state. Note that the prize we detailed is just an estimate and it may go even higher until Wednesday when the next Powerball draw is scheduled. Sports betting

The numbers for Saturday’s Powerball draw were 25, 30, 54, 57, 59 with the Powerball number 6 and the Power Play number 3.

Even though nobody managed to win the jackpot, 8 lottery tickets are eligible for second place $200,000 prizes. 4 of them were purchased in New York, 1 in Idaho, 1 in Pennsylvania and 1 in New Jersey. Unfortunately, none of the lucky tickets was bought with the Power Play option. If a ticket manages to win a second place prize and it is purchased with the Power Play option, the prize increases to $1 million. Sportsbook

The 8 tickets eligible for the second place prize were not the only winners of the night. 62 other tickets managed to get 4 numbers and the Powerball right, so they should now receive $10,000 each. Well, 57 of them should receive $10,000 as the other 5 were purchased with the Power Play option, increasing their prize to $30,000.

This is the third time this year when the Powerball jackpot reaches $200 million. The first was won on April 6 by two former welders from Clarksville, Indiana. That prize was worth $221.7 million. The second $200 million prize was won by a group of Costco workers from New York on June 1. Before that, you’d have to go a year back in time if you wanted to find another Powerball jackpot that high. It was won in Ohio and it was worth exactly $261.6 million. That winner wished to keep his identity a secret.

Powerball is one of the most popular lottery games in the world and it is played in 42 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia.
