(Harrisburg,  Pa.) No one matched all five numbers and the Power Ball in last nights drawing meaning that someone can ring in the new year as a millionaire Saturday night if they can win the jackpot that is now said to have climbed to an estimated $483 million.
According to Powerball officials, jackpot-winning numbers have not been selected in the past 37 drawings.
No one has won a Powerball jackpot since Oct. 4, when one player won $699.8 million. That was Powerball’s fifth-largest and the seventh-largest for any lottery in the United States.
If somebody wins the jackpot on New Year’s Day, they can take the full amount in an annuity payment or take a lump sum option of $347.7 million before taxes.
The numbers drawn last night were 2-6-9-33-39 and the Powerball was 11.
