Powerball jackpot climbs to $290M, no Winner yet

Posted by Cash On on 2013-08-02 0

The Powerball jackpot has increased and reached a hooping sum of $290 million with a cash option of $168.4 million after no tickets
sold for Wednesday's drawing matched all the winning numbers, according to the Powerball website.

The winning numbers are: 8, 24, 39, 49
and 59 . The Powerball drawn was 5. Tickets that matched five numbers but
not the Powerball were bought in each of California, Connecticut, Florida, New
York, Oregon, Oklahoma and
Pennsylvania.

The tickets sold in Oregon and Oklahoma are sumed up to $2 million a piece
since the winner in each of those states paid an extra $1 and chose the Powerplay option. The others won $1
million each before taxes.

New Jersey recorded a poor run with the best having four numbers and the Powerball — a $10,000 prize.
This marked the 11th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The next drawing is 11 p.m. Saturday.
