Powerball winning numbers. (Powerball)
Tonight’s Powerball drawing is for $80 million! The drawing will happen at 10:59 pm Eastern. If you want to watch the drawing live online, please see this story. The winning numbers for January 27 are:
40 – 52 – 3 – 67 – 12 and a Powerball of 21
If only one person wins, the “lump sum” will be worth $47.4 million, before taxes. No one won the jackpot on Saturday, so the pot is growing. In addition, no one walked away with a $2 million or a $1 million prize last Saturday either. It was a tough night!
How do you know if your numbers won? If you match all five white balls in any order and match the red Powerball number, then you’ll win the jackpot. But there are additional ways to win. If you matched some of the numbers and are wanting to know if you won, please read the article at this link.
There were three winners for the recent huge $1.5 billion jackpot, from California, Florida, and Tennessee. You can read more about the winners here. To see the numbers for Powerball’s historic drawing on January 13, please see this story. Only one out of the three winners has come forward so far. How much longer do they have?

The chances of winning are just a little better than 1 in 300 million. And yet three people defied those odds for the $1.5 billion jackpot and walked away winners.
