Prior to Saturday night, the jackpot was last won on Jan. 30 by a lottery player who purchased the ticket at a Fast Chek in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey.

To win the massive all six numbers on your ticket must match the winning numbers.

Lottery players in ia and North Carolina will have more opportunities to play with the introduction of Powerball in ia and Mega Millions in North Carolina.

Since selling the game in the Bay State in 2010, 4 Powerball jackpot prizes have been won and sold in Massachusetts.

The jackpot climbs to $102 million as an annuity prize or $80.7 million cash for Saturday’s drawing.

It is the fifth-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever, and it comes one particular day just after nobody won the even-larger Mega Millions prize, which now stands at $970 million.

A pair of $50,000 tickets had been sold in New Jersey, each matching 4 numbers plus the Powerball.

The estimated jackpot commonly is 32.5% of the (non-Power Play) income of each base ($1) play, submitted by game members to accumulate into a prize pool to fund the jackpot.
