Lottery officials said early this morning that no jackpot-winning Powerball tickets were sold in the $500 million drawing, which means someone could strike it rich with $675 million on Shabbos.
The numbers drawn in Wednesday night’s $500 million jackpot were 2, 11, 47, 62 and 63. The Powerball number is 17, with a multiplier of 3.
The jackpot will now jump to $675 million in this weekend’s drawing, the largest jackpot in U.S. history.
The biggest jackpot to date was $564.1 million Powerball prize last February, when players from North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rico split the winnings.
Wishing much hatzlacha to all ticket holders!

If I couldn’t win at least no one else did! Kidding!!
I just hope someone wins this that has his heart where it should be. Helping the yeshivos and kollelim throughout the US and and over in EY that can do with a little help. May it be His will..
Are you allowed to buy a ticket if the drawing will be on Shabbos?
Frumy, only if you live in a city with an eiruv
Being ignorant is not the same as being machmir. What’s the malacha of picking out a random number, it’s also done by goyim for themselves. Besides, the drawing is motsoi shabos.
