The $314.3 Million Powerball Jackpot Winner

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! And it’s a one of a kind winner: the one that hit the $314.3 million Powerball jackpot at the last night’s 10:59 drawing.

After the Friday night disappointment at the Mega Millions drawing when nobody matched the lucky numbers to bring the $206 million big prize, now it is the great winners’ turn! The leading to the fortune numbers were 2, 8, 23, 29, 35 and the Powerball number was 19 and let the champagne flow! For the ones who won… of course!

According to Hoosier Lottery spokesman Andrew Reed the lucky ticket was sold at a gas station in Richmond, Indiana. We can’t put our finger on whether it was the car’s tank that brought the luck or if it was the gas that represented a lucky charm, however it’s certain that many dreams of luxurious mansions and Rolls Royces were shattered!

But he or she is not the sole winner! Another 2,589,933 players matched more or less and won respecting the proportions, a total prize sum of $26,203,478. For the rest of us, the next August, 29 drawing prepares a $15 million jackpot, and for those more coveting, Mega Millions’ $250million prize is waiting!

The grand winner hasn’t come forward yet so it’s unknown whether he/she will opt for one time cash amount of $145,985,099 or will consider the 29-year, 30-installment annuity.

Powerball and Power Play tickets were sold from Wednesday to Saturday night to a total amount of $105,242,759.

Now, let’s grab a rabbit’s foot and a horseshoe, and let’s play further on!
