Last Wedneday’s winning numbers were 30, 32, 42, 56, and 57 and the Powerball was 11. There were regular 525,558 winners, and $6,923,262 in non-jackpot money was won.
There are actually nine ways to play Powerball. The odds of winning the jackpot are one in 293 million. The odds of simply doubling your money on a $2 ticket are one in 38.
If you live in Pittsburgh and played Powerball in November you might want to start checking any tickets lying around. WPXI News reports that state lottery officials say a ticket worth $1 million is about to expire.
The ticket that is about to become worthless was for the Nov. 8, 2014 drawing, and matched all five white balls drawn ( 9, 1, 33, 38, 54) but not the last red Powerball number, which was 15.
The unclaimed ticket was sold at a Giant Eagle supermarket in Finleyville, Philadelphia.
In other unlucky Powerball news, Marie Holmes, a young woman who won a $188 million Powerball lottery back in February, has spent $9 million bailing her fiancé out of jail three times.
When Holmes won, she announced to the world that she would use her cash to get her college degree, buy her mother a home, and take care of her four children, one of whom suffers from cerebral palsy. As quoted in Newsmax, Holmes said, “I am humbled and grateful for the opportunities this has created for my family."
The Powerball winner used some of her cash to bail herself out as well, as she was arrested in July on drug charges when authorities picked up her boyfriend at her home in North Carolina.
