Powerball Numbers and Results Oct 21, 2015: Watch Live Stream of Drawing for $90M Jackpot
Wednesday’s chance to make big money playing Powerball is here. The grand prize is currently at $90 million, with a cash value of $57 million.
Last Saturday’s winning numbers were 48, 49, 57, 62, 69 and 19. There were 516,167 regular winners, and $4,897,217 in non-jackpot money was won.
There are actually nine ways to play Powerball. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 293 million. The odds of simply doubling your money on a $2 ticket are 1 in 38.
A North Carolina woman named Marie Holmes got plenty of media attention back in February when she won $88 million. Holmes said she was “humble and grateful,” and revealed her plans to use her new wealth to finish school, help out her mother, and find a nice place for her and her family to live.
As the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports, Holmes, who said she also wanted to donate some of her winnings to church and to charity, has so far spent over $9 million to keep her boyfriend, Lamarr Andre McDow, out of jail.
On Monday, McDow was arrested for possessing a gun as a convicted felon. He was released on $10,000 bail.
This is the third time Holmes has bailed out her boyfriend.
Previously, the Powerball winner dished out $3 million and then another $6 million to keep McDow out of jail.
McDow, who goes by the name “Hot Sauce,” was arrested last November on criminal charges including heroin trafficking. As soon as Holmes won the lottery, one of the first things she did was pay a $3 million bond to have him released.
McDow was then arrested again in July for failure to meet his curfew requirements, whereupon Holmes put down another $6 million to once again get him out of jail.
