BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô The Powerball jackpot has grown to $400 million for tonight┬┤s draw. Idaho┬┤s one-million-dollar Powerball winner from last week is yet to be claimed. And the Mega Millions jackpot is now over $172 million.
"There┬┤s a lot of excitement around the Gem State right now for these big jackpots," said Jeff Anderson Idaho Lottery Director. "We want to remind everyone that it only takes one to ticket to win. Please play what you can afford, don┬┤t go overboard."
A week has passed since Idaho recorded its sixth $1 million winning Powerball ticket since last July. The winning numbers for that Powerball draw were 36, 44, 49, 52, 57, and the Powerball was 01. Last week┬┤s $1 million winning ticket matched the first five numbers but not the Powerball.
Powerball tickets are $2 each. Players have until 7:55 PM Mountain Time tonight to purchase a Powerball ticket from one of the nearly 1,200 retail locations that sell Idaho Lottery products in the Gem State. Mega Millions tickets are $1 each. Players have until 7:55 PM Mountain Time Friday to purchase Mega Millions tickets.
