A millionaire Powerball prize falls in Puerto Rico

by

Puerto Rico has a new millionaire after a $ 2 million prize Powerball fell to the island in last night’s draw.

The ticket sold on the island was one of eight that matched the five white balls and doubled the prize by choosing the Power Play option for an additional $ 1.

The other seven winning tickets were sold in Florida (2), Georgia, Illinois, New Hampshire, New York and New Jersey.

In the meantime, the largest prize amounting to 23,200,000 fell on a single ticket sold in New Jersey. The winner will get 17,300,000 in cash.

This is the second time Powerball has won the biggest prize in a week, as last Wednesday a single person from Maryland took home $ 731.1 million.

The winning numbers in last night’s draw were the white balls 05, 08, 17, 27, 28, plus the Powerball 14 and the Power Play 3X multiplier.

The next Powerball draw will be on Wednesday, Jan. 27, when the grand prize is reset to $ 20 million.
