Haven’t had a chance to check the Powerball results? Here are the Powerball winning numbers for that draw: 1, 17, 21, 23, 32 and the Powerball number is 5. If your lotto numbers match exactly you’re a Powerball lottery winner! This is the third US Powerball jackpot this year to make the list of the 10 biggest lottery prizes in history! You could also be one of 14 people who matched the first five lotto numbers and won $1 million. This American lottery is so popular that there are literally hundreds of Powerball winners made every year.
After the changes made to the rules of the Powerball lottery in October last year, there could be a decline in the number of Powerball winners going forward. The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers went up to one in 292 million. Although that sounds like bad news, it isn’t. It just means that the jackpots are going to keep growing. In January the Powerball broke the record for the biggest jackpot in lottery history at an incredible $1.6 billion. Since then, two more Powerball jackpots (including this one) have made it into the top ten.
So could you become a Powerball winner? The odds of hitting the jackpot seem impossible, but if you buy a ticket, there’s a good chance you’ll win something. The Powerball lottery has a total of nine prize teirs. Your chances of winning one of the other prize tiers are one in 24.78. Considering that the second prize is a guaranteed $1 million, it stands to reason that the Powerball could still make you a millionaire. And with some savvy investing you could grow that money to make all your dreams come true.
