Two “Big Money” Powerball Winners In New York
It was a very lucky Saturday night for a couple of Powerball players in New York State.
The New York State Lottery announced that there were two "Big Money" winning Powerball tickets sold in New York from Saturday's drawing including one ticket that won $150,000.
Each one of those tickets matched four out of five numbers and also had the Powerball number, and one of the tickets had the Powerplay which was triple the prize amount.
Saturday's winning Powerball numbers were: 3-6-32-37-65 with a Powerball 04.
No one claimed the grand prize on Saturday so that means the jackpot continues to grow. The jackpot is now up to $285 million dollars for Monday's Powerball drawing.
If someone in New York were to win Monday's Powerball, that jackpot would be the 5th largest in New York State history, surpassing the current 5th largest jackpot by almost $30 million dollars.
