The Powerball jackpot continues to grow to the delight of players all over America.
Even though the grand prize was not hit Wednesday evening, 446,926 players across the nation won a total of more than $4.2 million in prizes in "America's Game".
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers the jackpot will grow to an estimated $73 million for Saturday night's drawing. The cash option for the Saturday, May 6th drawing will be an estimated $32.6 million.
The numbers drawn Wednesday were 4, 6, 19, 38, 42 and the Powerball was 37. The Power Play multiplier was 2.
Three lucky players in the states of Arizona (2), and Kansas (1), correctly matched the 5 white numbers and won $200,000. Two additional winners of that prize category also in Kansas wisely purchase the Power Play option for another $1 and had their winnings multiplied by 2 for a total win of $400,000.
Congratulations to the 2nd prize winners in PB. I hope it contines to roll.
I would have loved to be one of those second place winners.
same here.200,000 or 2,000,000 either one would be good to me.money is money.......
tennessee should get another jackpot winner soon......
Wow. 44.6% on the cash prize according to www.usamega.com . I think the only record is how little you will win if you win. At this rate if it hits the cap at 395M it will only be 115M after federal tax.
well let it roll until we get a shot at it on May 31st!! We officially get the Powerball on May 30th, just in time to do the playslips for the next day's drawing.

I read on NJ Lottery website, the U.S. Energy Corp. gets 25% of all winning mega millions drawings. U.S. Energy Corp. might be getting a large percentage of PB jackpost. I guess they need the money.
