The US
Powerball jackpot rolled over again on Saturday so the next draw already boasts
and incredible $284 million jackpot.
Powerball
players in eight states managed to match five numbers in the last draw and won
$1 million each, but none of them successfully matched the Powerball so the big
win was saved for another day.
Powerball
is a multi-state game with draws on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The game has a minimum
jackpot of $40 million, but the present jackpot is eight times that amount so a
last minute buying frenzy could push it even higher. The next draw is on
Wednesday night at 22:59 (EST).
