Guess Who Didn’t WIN The Powerball Jackpot
So last night the Powerball jackpot was at $1.5 billion and yet after the winning numbers were announce, nobody step forward claiming the prize! Well, on The Mike & Carla Morning Show, both Mike O’Brian and Carla Rea had their numbers…but not even close! So let’s say you did win and decided to take the one lump sum, you’d walk away with $596.7 million.
Carla even bought a few tickets and, with fingers crossed, was hoping that she might hit something…on the other hand, Mike just wrote down some numbers and pretended to play! On her five tickets, Carla had a total of three number and actually won $4! Mike only had two…but again, they were pretend numbers !
Either way, it’s back to the drawing board and they will hopefully find a winner with they announce the numbers on Saturday night. Now the pot will be a little bit bigger, so buy your NEW tickets and keep your fingers crossed.
The Powerball jackpot for Saturday night of course should be a little bigger at an estimated $1.2 billion and if you do WIN and decide to take it all in one huge check, the winner will be walking away with about $745.9 million! Just imagine winning all that loot, deciding to call in on Monday to say that you quit and jet off to the island of your choice!
Oh, for those that didn’t hear, the winning numbers from last night, 02-11-22-35-60 and the PB number was 23!
For those that really want to keep track, the drawings for Powerball are held three times per week at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday…so GOOD LUCK! And if you want to hear how close Mike & Carla got…then tune in and listen to the segment from this morning below and enjoy!

Powerball Hits $1 Billion; Tips To Winning The Jackpot
1. Pick Your Own Numbers
Lustig says to never buy quick-pick tickets and don’t let the computer pick the numbers for you. Always pick your own.
2. Use The Same Number Combination
Lustig says to use the same number combination every single time you play. This increases the odds of that combination winning. BUT stop using it once it hits.
3. Reinvest Your Winnings
Lustig is a big advocate for treating your lottery playing like it’s an entrepreneurial venture. He recommends investing at least 33% of your winnings back into your play.
4. Buy A Lot Of Tickets At Once
Lustig was very outspoken about the importance of buying multiple tickets at once. He says it greatly increases the odds of winning.
5. Don't Choose Consecutive Numbers
This tip comes from the Village Voice. They say, “if you play a lottery with five winning numbers and you have to choose until numbers 55. The total numbers must be between 104 and 176. Studies have shown that 70% of lottery jackpots have sums that fall in this range.”
