Powerball Lottery soars for the weekend

Last week, a lottery syndicate from New York scooped a staggering $317 million on the Mega Millions Lottery draw, one of the biggest jackpots ever seen on the lottery. However, American lottery players still have plenty to play for as the Powerball Lottery soars for the weekend, after no winners were found in last night’s draw. The winning numbers for the midweek Powerball Lottery draw are 19 – 20 – 42 – 56 – 58, Powerball 37.

Despite high ticket sales, no one matched all the winning numbers in last night’s Powerball Lottery draw although plenty of winners were found. One player from New Jersey scooped the $1 million Power Play prize from the Powerball Lottery and another five players matched five balls to win $200,000 each. These match five winners hail from Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas and make five lucky winners who will be celebrating today.
