One lucky Coloradan hits $1,000,000 winning Powerball ticket
The Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots continue to roll together!
The Powerball jackpot is at a staggering $750 million ($378.8 million cash value) for the next drawing on Wednesday, July 12, making it the 6th largest Powerball jackpot and 10th largest U.S. lottery jackpot. The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to an estimated $560 million ($281 million cash value) for the next drawing on Friday, July 14.
This is only the third time ever that both Powerball and Mega Millions have advertised jackpots above $500 million simultaneously.
Colorado has had three Powerball winners since the game was introduced to the state in 2001.
- 2007: Colorado had its first ever Powerball jackpot winners when two families share a $20 million jackpot.
- 2014: Colorado’s second Powerball winner from Rifle, CO wins $90 million.
