Powerball tops $300 million, $2 million won in Pennsylvania


Powerball's wild year has produced one more $300 million-topping jackpot. In their history, Powerball has had 11, and four of them have happened this year, five of which before 10 months. Powerball set its all-time record in May, every time a Florida woman hit a jackpot with the annuity worth of $590.5 million. She took the cash, worth $370.9 mllion before taxes. Saturday's jackpot is going to be worth $317 million to the annuity, $176.3 million for that cash, because not a soul hit the many numbers drawn Wednesday night: 11, 19, 33, 42 and 52, with a Powerball of 33. The largest winner would be a Pennsylvania ticket, which scored $two million for matching the 1st five numbers with the Power Play multiplier option. (Visit later today: When the location becomes known, this document will be updated.)

Winning $1 million for matching the 1st five without worrying about Powerplay were tickets bought from The big apple, Indiana, Georgia, Maine and Nebraska. Your next drawing is going to be Saturday night. The largest jackpot in U.S. history was Mega Millions' $656 million annuity, won by three tickets in March 2012. Furthermore , it set the record for cash payouts: $471 million.
