- Two Tickets Hit Seven Figures! This is The Lottery Rundown for Tuesday September 15th Powerball drew Monday night with 19, 20, 57, 61 and 67, plus Powerball 22 and a 2X multiplier. Nobody matched all six, but two players collected seven-figure prizes: an Ohio player won 2 million dollars with Power Play, and a Georgia ticket holder landed 1 million dollars. White ball 20 returned after 16 drawings away, then parked directly beside 19 as if the absence required a chaperone. Wednesday’s jackpot is estimated at 271 million dollars, with a cash value of 115 million 100 thousand dollars. That could buy a private train with one car reserved entirely for soup. What would you name the soup car? The jackpot has gone 14 draws and 33 days without a winner, still a shorter wait than usual. Moving to Mega Millions, the last draw was Friday, September 11, with 3, 30, 33, 53 and 62, plus Mega Ball 22. Nobody matched all six. Thirty repeated from the previous draw, while 3 ranks fourth among the most-drawn white balls over the last six years, appearing 54 times. Tonight’s jackpot is estimated at 227 million dollars, with a cash value of 96 million 300 thousand dollars. The game is 13 draws and 45 days beyond its last jackpot winner, a fairly ordinary stretch by recent standards.
