Due to the fact then, there had been 35 games in a row without a jackpot winner till Wednesday.
Such a long stretch without the need of a winner is rare but also reflects the extremely smaller odds of winning — 1 in 292.2 million for Powerball and 1 in 302.5 million for Mega Millions.
The January 1 drawing was for a total money prize of $518.7 million but that has considering that grown to $522 million.
Winning numbers of the Kentucky Lottery stand as drawn.
As soon as one or various winners have hit the grand prize, the Powerball resets to the minimum jackpot.
