Mega Millions:
Despite claiming the largest prize in Texas Lottery history, Katy resident William R Kiefer wants no part of fame or fortune. This humble Texan only has three plans: retire, donate to worthy causes and encourage others to do the same. “The greatest gift my parents gave me was to be raised a Christian,” said Kiefer. “I plan to give 60 percent of all after-tax winnings to charity.” What a great fellow. Congrats to this lucky Texas player!
Powerball:
The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to get bigger and bigger exciting players across the country! Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, a lucky ticket in Wisconsin matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $1 million cash! Four other tickets throughout the States matched 5 white balls and won $200,000 cash each. In addition, 630,711 tickets across the nation won a total of $6,665,011 in prizes.
Because no one correctly matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing the jackpot will grow to an estimated $40 million!
The cash option for the Wednesday, February 17th drawing will be an estimated $19.6 million.
Florida Lottery:

California Lottery:
One lucky California Lottery player in Redwood City saw their horse come in last night, and as a result, they’re $217,258 richer today! That’s because they played Daily Derby and their ticket matched all three winning horses and the final race time. A big congrats to this lucky player!
