The Powerball pot increases to $ 730 million

The jar of the Powerball rose to $ 730 million after no one yesterday won the biggest prize of $ 640 million that was at stake in the draw.

The new figure, which exceeded $ 700 million for the fourth time in 28 years, will be contested in next year’s draw, January 20. In case a person wins the Powerball, they will have access to $ 546 million in cash.

Although last night no one won the biggest prize, 14 people managed to match the five white balls to win $ 1 million.

These tickets were sold in California (2), Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Texas (3) and West Virginia. Two tickets doubled the $ 1 million prize to $ 2 million by including Power Play for an additional $ 1. The $ 2 million winning tickets were sold in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.

The last time a person won the biggest Powerball award was in September 2020 in New York.

Puerto Rico has several Powerball winners, one of them in February 2015 that was sold to Ponce Shell of Vedat Laurel. This $ 564.1 prize was split with two winners from North Carolina and Texas and was the first Powerball prize sold outside the continental United States.

The other prize that fell on the island was $ 50 million in April of that year and was sold to Sabana Gran.
