New York – The latest Powerball drawing offers another huge jackpot — close to half a billion dollars — for someone who holds a lottery ticket with the right numbers.

Here are Saturday’s winning numbers:
22-57-59-60-66, Powerball: 07, PowerPlay: 2X
The estimated jackpot is $456.7 million. The lump sum payment before taxes would be about $269 million. If there is no jackpot winner, the amount grows even larger for the next drawing.
The prize amount has grown steadily since the Jan. 6 Powerball drawing. A single winning ticket worth $559.7 million was sold in New Hampshire. The holder of the ticket has since gone to court to preserve her anonymity.
Powerball is held in 44 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
A $2 ticket gives you a one in 292.2 million chance at joining the hall of Powerball champions.
The drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Wednesdays and Saturdays. Deadline to purchase tickets is 9:45 p.m.
I understand that one ticket was sold, somewhere in Pennsylvania.
