No winning tickets were sold for Monday night's $922 million Powerball jackpot, lottery officials said, so the grand prize for Wednesday night's drawing will be an estimated $1 billion. The numbers drawn Tuesday night were 5, 8, 9, 17, 41 and a Powerball of 21.
Monday night's jackpot increased to an estimated $900 million after nobody won Saturday night and surged again Monday as more people bought tickets. Monday night's drawing did have more than 2.8 million winning tickets, with buyers getting smaller cash prizes worth a combined $41.7 million, Powerball officials said.
"As it grows and the hype increases, you know, everyone gets kind of excited. So that's where you get all those people who don't generally buy tickets, think, 'Why not? Why not me?'" Kempf said, adding that she also sees"your regulars" who buy tickets every week but may buy a few more as the jackpot increases.
