- Four Powerball Paydays. This is The Lottery Rundown for Tuesday September 29th Powerball drew Monday night with 17, 21, 29, 42 and 49, plus Powerball 7 and a 3X multiplier. Nobody matched all six, but four tickets produced major paydays: one ticket holder in Puerto Rico scored 2 million dollars, while players in Illinois, North Carolina and New York each won 1 million dollars. Over the past six years, 21 leads all white balls with 81 appearances, while 49 ranks among the five least drawn at 53. That pairing has the seating plan of a dinner party organized by a deeply unserious spreadsheet. Would you have guessed their gap was 28 appearances? Wednesday’s jackpot is estimated at 409 million dollars, with a cash value of 170 million 200 thousand dollars. That could establish a cabinet-level department devoted to finding every missing sock, complete with regional offices and a ceremonial dryer. Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Friday, September 25, with 25, 57, 58, 67 and 68, plus Mega Ball 16. No ticket claimed the jackpot. White ball 67 returned after 28 drawings away, and with just 35 appearances over six years, it remains tied among the five least-drawn white balls. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 300 million dollars, with a cash value of 124 million 100 thousand dollars. The jackpot run stands at 17 drawings and 59 days, almost perfectly in line with recent history.
