Powerball Numbers and Results August 1, 2015: Watch Live Stream of Drawing for $110 Million Jackpot
Saturday’s chance to make big money playing Powerball is here. And since no one won the grand prize on Wednesday -- when the winning numbers were: 4, 22, 27, 28 , 52, and 35 -- all that money has rolled over and is now at $110 million with a cash value of $69.5 million.
There were 440,118 regular winners and $4,110,403 in non-jackpot money was won.
There are actually nine ways to play Powerball. Though the odds will likely change in October, currently there is a 1 in 175,223,510.00 chance in winning the grand prize and a 1 in 5,153,632.65 chance in winning $1,000,000.
So the odds of winning are slim, but people do win. The main thing a Powerball player has to do, outside of checking the numbers, is hold on to the ticket.
As reported by the Sacramento Bee, a financial analyst from Elk Grove just won more than $1.7 million from last Saturday’s Powerball drawing. The 40-year-old Ken Huang correctly matched five of the six numbers, missing only the Powerball number, making him $1,713,986 richer. And he is not the only one benefiting. The Safeway store that sold Huang his ticket will receive a bonus of $8,569.
In St. Louis a couple of city employees who bought a winning Powerball ticket this month just won the $70 million jackpot. As reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Tom Rea, a fellow who works as a building maintenance supervisor for the city’s department of corrections and his wife, Catherine Ruggeri-Rea, who works as the city’s courts administrator, accepted a lump-sum payment of $42.7 million rather than $70 million in installments.
