There was no single ticket that matched all the numbers sold for last night s ( 01/16/21) Powerball drawing. That means the grand prize jackpot for the multi-state lottery game will continue to grow. Last night before the drawing at 9:59 pm Louisiana time it was estimated a single ticket with the proper numbers could be worth as much as $640 million. That number will now increase to an estimated $730 million by drawing time on Wednesday night.
There was a ticket sold in Louisiana that did come very close to taking the top prize in last night s Powerball drawing. That ticket matched four of the five white-ball numbers and the Powerball. The ticket purchaser did not opt for the Powerplay option in the game. Therefore that particular ticket has a value of $50,000 this morning.
