The Powerball Jackpot grew to a whopping $1.9 billion over the weekend after no one matched the five white balls and red Powerball.  Someone purchased a ticket at Publix in Evans that's worth $1 million, so check your tickets!  The numbers for the drawing were:  white balls 28, 45, 53, 56 69 and red Powerball 20.

Another Publix store in Brunswick, Georgia sold a $1 million winning ticket for last Wednesday's drawing.

There were seven $50,000 winners from Saturday night's drawing in Georgia.  None of those were sold in the Augusta area.

The next chance for someone to win the big Powerball Jackpot is tonight.  Most jackpot winners prefer a lump sum payment, which would be an estimated $929.1 million for tonight's drawing. The odds of any given ticket winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
