The hunt for a life-changing fortune continues as the US Powerball jackpot has soared to an estimated $1.23 billion (£1.2 billion) after yet another draw passed without a grand prize winner.
The winning numbers for the Saturday, 20th April draw were: 24, 40, 52, 57, 66, and the crucial Powerball was 20. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.
While no single ticket managed to match all six numbers to claim the colossal top prize, the draw was not without its winners. Several players across the United States are celebrating significant secondary prizes. Three tickets matched all five white balls to win a massive $1 million each. Furthermore, eight players secured $150,000 prizes, and another eighteen won $50,000 each.
When is the Next Powerball Draw?
With the jackpot rolling over, the next opportunity to win this astronomical sum is set for Monday, 22nd April. The estimated annuity option for the next draw is a mind-boggling $1.23 billion, with a cash value estimated at $595.1 million.
How UK Players Can Participate
For enthusiasts in the UK dreaming of a stateside fortune, participation is possible through official online lottery courier services. These regulated services allow international players to purchase official tickets for US draws legally and securely.
This current jackpot run, which began on 6th January after a win in Michigan, has seen 40 consecutive draws without a top prize winner. The excitement is building towards what could be one of the largest lottery payouts in history.
