The
Powerball lottery jackpot soared to an estimated $290
million after no
one won the grand prize in Wednesday's drawing, according to the
game's website.
The
winning numbers for the July 31 drawing were 8,
24, 39, 49, 59 and the Powerball number was 5.
The
next drawing will be Saturday, August 3.
Though
there were no jackpot winners, two players, one in Oklahoma and
another in Oregon, won $2
million each for the Match 5 Power Play,
according to the game's website. The Power Play option, which
increases the size of the prize, costs an
additional $1 to play.
In
May, 84-year-old Gloria C. Mackenzie won the largest
Powerball jackpot in history.
With the jackpot coming in at $590 million, Mackenzie decided to
take a
lump sum cash payout of $370.8 million,
according to ABC News.
The
chances of winning the Powerball grand prize are 1
in 175,223,510.
