No Winner, Powerball Jackpot Has Grown For the Drawing of April Fools’ Day
The Powerball jackpot is nearer to $1 Billion, While some are thinking it is an elaborate April Fools’ joke, no it’s not a joke rather it is real. The Powerball jackpot remains unclaimed, pushing the prize pool to a staggering $975 million for the upcoming Monday, April 1st drawing!
“While there’s no winner today,” chuckled a spokesperson for the Powerball Lottery, “it appears good fortune is multiplying like rabbits for the next drawing! This is no joke – the jackpot has officially entered ‘life-changing’ territory.”
No lucky ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Saturday, March 30: 12, 13, 33, 50, 52 with a red Powerball of 23. Four tickets, one each from Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, matched all five white balls, securing a cool $1 million prize each.
There were also 55 tickets winning $50,000 prizes and 11 tickets taking home $150,000 prizes, so a total of $2.3 million went toward cash prizes.
The last time the Powerball jackpot was claimed was on January 1, when a ticket in Michigan secured a hefty sum of $842.4 million. However, the record still stands at an astronomical $2.04 billion, won by a fortunate soul in California back in 2022.
This marks the 39th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner, further fueling the anticipation for Monday’s historic drawing. If a lucky winner emerges, they’ll have the option to receive the entire $975 million in an annuity spread out over payments, or a lump sum of $471.7 million – both before taxes.
