It's been 3 months considering that someone hit the Powerball jackpot.
On March 13, 2010, New Jersey became the initially prior Mega Millions-only member (just before the cross-selling expansion) to generate a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket.
The winning numbers have been six, 14, 25, 33 and 46, and the Powerball quantity was 17.
For three matching numbers plus the Powerball quantity appropriate on a ticket with Energy Play, the Connecticut Lottery notes that prizes can range from $200 to $1,000.
Even with an advertised jackpot larger than the quantity you'd have to invest, there are costs that eat into your earnings.
