Two million-dollar winners in Mass. as Powerball jackpot climbs to $1.55 billion

DRACUT, Mass. — Once again, no one hit the jackpot in Saturday night’s Powerball drawing, but two lucky people in Massachusetts are waking up as one-million-dollar winners.

The two big tickets were sold at A.L. Prime Energy, 2083 Bridge St. in Dracut, and at Stop & Shop, 935 Riverdale Rd. in West Springfield.

Saturday’s Powerball numbers were 47, 54, 57, 60, and 65 with the Powerball of 19.

With no big winner, the jackpot has now soared to $1.55 billion – the third-largest jackpot in Powerball history.

The next drawing is on Monday night. Powerball tickets are $2 each and can be played in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.

“With this jackpot approaching a record level, it is a very exciting time for our customers and our retail partners, and we encourage people to keep the experience enjoyable by playing responsibly and within their means,” said Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Massachusetts State Lottery.

There has been no jackpot winner since July 19, when a $1.08 billion ticket was sold in California.
