With no winners in Saturday night's record $949.8 million Powerball drawing, the next jackpot could reach an estimated $1.3 billion, lottery officials said early Sunday.

The winning numbers were 16, 19, 32, 34, 57, and a Powerball of 13. To win the jackpot, all six numbers must be correct. The first five can be in any order, but the sixth must be the Powerball number.
Gary Grief, the executive director of the Texas Lottery, told ABC News on Sunday he was surprised to see the results of Saturday night's drawing. He said 25 players won a $1 million prize and three others won a $2 million prize.

"If you don't play, you will not win," Grief advised.
The estimated cash value of the next drawing is $806 million. There's a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball's grand prize.

The next drawing is Wednesday night.

even for the ballas on here, it might be worth buying a ticket or 20.

I've never bought a lotto ticket, but why the hell not this time?

Can't win if you don't play.

Yea, but this is a new lottery that's half a billion more.

Man I'm probably going to buy some tickets!

I haven't ever bought one but I think I might pick up 20.

With the odds at 292 million to 1, just buy one of every combo. Then again, you might have to share the jackpot with multiple winners. The last drawing would have worked in your favor.

My luck, I would accidentally miss one combination of numbers, and that would be the one that was drawn!

Anyone know why they added more numbers?

Anyone know why they added more numbers?

What numbers? The increase in possible combinations from a few months back was to increase the jackpot sizes.

There isn't enough time to buy 292million tickets

Regarding collection - Fuck Texas. They changed the rules where a party has to come forward and collect, i.e., you can't collect through an attorney or trust, etc.

With a jackpot this big, they are seriously putting the winner's family in jeopardy (provided it's a Texas winner).

You can have legal representation present, though.

You mean, like Blackwater? I don't think an attorney is going to stop my kids getting snatched and held for ransom.

I'm going to buy some tickets this week. If I win, I want to start a you tube channel where I pay off peoples student loans by asking them questions based on their schooling. Aka if they went for computer sciences, I am going to rip them apart. It'll be like who wants to be a millionaire, but I pay off a % of their student loans based on how many questions they are able to get.

Also, I will pay off one persons house from the board.

Fuck Texas.

Well, I'm certainly taken aback.
