For the second time this year, the Powerball® jackpot has crossed the half billion dollar mark, with an estimated jackpot of $522 million ($269.6 million cash value) for the next drawing on Monday, July 3. The Powerball jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night – white balls 4, 17, 35, 49, 61 and red Powerball 8. The Power Play® multiplier was 2X. Top-winning tickets in the Saturday, July 1 drawing include 28 tickets that matched four of the five white balls and the red Powerball. Twenty-two of the tickets won $50,000 prizes. The other six tickets (sold in Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Texas (2), and Virginia) increased the $50,000 prize to $100,000 by including the Power Play® option for an additional dollar. Nationwide, the drawing produced more than 998-thousand winning tickets, with players winning lower-tier prizes worth a combined total of $7.1 million.
