Winning the lottery is just the beginning

Top Ten Powerball Winners, all time: a List



There was no jackpot winner in last night’s Powerball game so Saturday’s jackpot rises to $61 million.

The winning numbers were 8,13,38,39,45 and Power ball 31. The Power Play multiplier was 4. Four winning tickets matched the first five numbers. Those tickets, each worth $200,000, were bought in Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

I’ve been asked…. what are the top ten jackpots, all time, in Powerball. Since you asked:

1. $365 million, on Feb. 18, 2006 won by a lottery pool in Nebraska
2. $340 million, on Oct. 19, 2005, one ticket won by two families in Oregon
3. $314.9 million, on Dec. 25, 2002, won in West Virginia
4. $314.3 million, on Aug. 25, 2007, won in Indiana
5. $295.7 million, on July 29, 2008, won by a group of Ohio players who won in Indiana
6. $294.9 million, on Aug. 25, 2001, won by ticket holders in Minnesota, Delaware, Kentucky and Maine.
7. $261.3 million, on July 9, 2003, won in Pennsylvania and Missouri
8. $254 million, on Jan. 24, 2007, won in Missouri
9. $224.2 million, on April 12, 2006, won in Missouri
10. $221.5 million, on Dec. 31, 2003, won in South Carolina and Pennsylvania

The Mega Millions jackpot on Friday is a whopping $86 million.
