Orlando, Apr 22, (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to the officials of the Powerball Lottery, someone has ultimately made it to the Powerball jackpot this time. The Powerball lottery, whose prize money had already escalated to a whooping $252 million for the jackpot after the roll over last time, went higher still with the increase in the lottery ticket sale this week. Reports claim that the lottery company proclaimed the jackpot to be worth $258.5 on Wednesday night. However, as of yet nobody has come forward to claim the prize money. The last date to claim the money is Monday, Apr 27.

The winning number on Wednesday night’s lottery was 11-34-41-49-55 and the Powerball number was 20. The jackpot has been on a roll ever since March 17 and following the rule the jackpot value increased with every roll over. This jackpot rolled over 10 times since March 17 which had made the winner all the more lucky.

Reports claim that the winning ticket was sold in Missouri. As the Powerball jackpot play has become one of the most popular lottery games, the probability of hitting the jackpot has also decreased. Every week the probability of winning decreases and this time some reports claim that the probability was 1 in 195 million. According to reports, other than the Powerball jackpot win, prizes were won by other two million players. The prize money for others totaled to $13.1 million. As per the reports, in Florida alone six players managed to win $10 thousands by matching four of the numbers and the Powerball number. People from many states of Unites States indulge in the game and wait anxiously for the results.
