Powerball jackpot climbs to $250 million
This Valentine's Day could be super sweet for some lucky Powerball player.
The jackpot for Wednesday's Powerball drawing jumped to the super sum of $250 million after no one matched all six numbers in Saturday night's multi-state game. Those numbers are: 15-23-43-45-56 and the Powerball was 7.
One Georgia Lottery player won $10,000 in Saturday’s drawing. The lucky ticket was purchased in Pooler.
The Powerball jackpot has been growing since Dec. 28 and has rolled 12 times.
Powerball offers two payment options: the $250 million jackpot prize paid over 29 years in 30 graduated payments, or the cash option, which is approximately $156 million. Powerball tickets are $2 per play.
Wonder if Marcia Adams will be buying Powerball tickets? Two weeks ago, the 33-year-old College Park accountant won the $72 million Mega Millions jackpot. She opted to take the lump-sum amount of $52 million.
The top prize in Tuesday night's Mega Millions multi-state lottery drawing is $32 million.
