MANCHESTER, NH – Pop!
That’s the immediate sound of your Powerball bubble bursting, for those who didn’t match any numbers in the historic $1.6 billion lottery drawing Wednesday night.
And not to deflate you further, but shortly after the 11 p.m. EST drawing, the California Lottery posted this:
The winning ticket was purchased in Chino Hills, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles. There can, of course, be more than one jackpot. So check your tickets carefully:
Powerball⇒ 4-8-19-27-34 PB: 10.
The Jan. 13 jackpot accrued to an estimated $1.6 billion after 20 drawings without a winner.
Odds of being a winner are 1 in 292 million. To visualize that, the Wall Street Journal put this together. It’s worth the click.
Bon chance.
