- Two Millionaires and 716 Million! It's Tuesday October 27th and here's your lottery rundown Excitement is heating up as the jackpots grow larger. Powerball drew Monday night with 18, 26, 49, 50 and 54, plus Powerball 1 and a three-times multiplier. Nobody matched all six, but two ticket holders scored 1 million dollars each, one in Florida and one in Georgia. The white ball 50 repeated from Saturday, while 26 and 49 arrived as two of the five least-drawn white balls over the past six years. Fifty clearly renewed its lease without telling the landlord. Wednesday’s estimated jackpot is 716 million dollars, with a cash value of 307 million 200 thousand dollars. That could fund a private space program whose only mission is teaching raccoons to clean up moon trash. The jackpot has gone 32 drawings and 75 days without a winner, a longer-than-average run but not rare territory. Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Friday, October 23, with 3, 7, 46, 49 and 51, plus Mega Ball 5. Nobody hit the jackpot. White ball 3 ranks among the five most frequently drawn over the past six years, appearing 55 times, while Mega Ball 5 sits last in its field with 17 appearances. Would you have expected little 5 to be the shyest Mega Ball? Tonight’s estimated jackpot is 443 million dollars, with a cash value of 186 million 500 thousand dollars. The jackpot run stands at 25 drawings and 87 days, still within the game’s ordinary range.
