Powerball Lottery
Powerball Lottery Saturday night's $90 million Powerball Lottery drawing has gone off on schedule. According to lottery officials the results are still pending and there is no word on whether or not anyone will take home the huge jackpot.

The $90 million jackpot means a cash out option of over $55 million to a single winner or 29 years of annuity payments.

Saturday night winning numbers are; 17, 22, 24, 38, 55 and the Powerball number is 24. Saturday's multiplier is 3.

Starting with the next draw, Powerball will be going through some changes.

To create more winners, the lottery will be adding some white ball numbers and subtracting some of the red ball numbers. The new Powerball will go from a 55/42 game to a 59/39 game. The lottery estimates
about 3.5 million more winners per year.

The Power Play option will be adjusted as well. Now the multiplier for second prize will always be 5X. That means that when you win the second prize and have also purchased the Power Play option, your $200,000 will automatically become $1 million; every time. Multipliers for all other prize levels will remain as they are now.

The starting jackpots will also be on the rise. Starting jackpots are being bumped from a guaranteed $15 million to a guaranteed $20 million.

Finally, the Powerball family will be growing. With the addition of Florida Powerball will now be available 30 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

As always, drawings will be held every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59PM Eastern Time.
