Powerball jackpot climbs for next drawing
There were no winners in last night’s Powerball drawing, so the jackpot continues to climb for the next drawing.
The estimated jackpot for Friday’s drawing is $550 million, with a cash value of $277.5 million. That number can change, depending on the number of tickets sold. The winning numbers from Wednesday were:
06 – 08 – 15 – 27 – 42 and the Powerball was 10.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
