Lottery ticket holders last night were left disappointed as no one won the $949.8 million Powerball and now it is set to increase to $1.3 billion.
ABC News reported the winning numbers were 16, 19, 32, 34, 57 with a Powerball of 13. While the first five numbers could be in any order, the last number needed to be the Powerball number that was assigned.
Texas Lottery’s Gary Grief said there were 25 players who did win $1 million while only three won $2 million. He also stated, “If you don’t play, you will not win.”
The next drawing has an estimated cash value of $806 million with a 1 in 292.2 million chance of there being a winner.
People will have another chance to win on Wednesday evening.
According to The Associated Press, there had been an expectation from the Multi-State Lottery Association that it was likely that there was a 75 percent chance that, due to so much interest, any combination of the winning numbers may have been purchased.
The Powerball originally began at $40 million on Nov. 4, but has been growing since no one has yet to win.
