ALBANY – No one picked
all six numbers in Saturday’s $947.9 million Powerball lottery,
which will drive the Wednesday, January 13 jackpot to $1.3 billion, or
$806 million in a lump sum.
There were 25, $1 million second-prize winners with three tickets sold
in New York. One was purchased at the Stewart’s Shop on Route 9
in Valatie. The others were purchased in Queens and Suffolk County.
“History continues to be made with this massive jackpot. Three lucky
New Yorkers are $1 million richer as the excitement spreads across the
county,” said Gardner Gurney, director of the Division of the Lottery.
Wednesday’s drawing will be the biggest Powerball jackpot ever and
the largest jackpot prize of any lottery game in U.S. history.
