Just off a huge Powerball jackpot, one of the largest in U.S. history, Powerball reset to its initial jackpot of $40 million, but there were no winners in the Feb. 15, 2012 drawing and the pot rolls over to Saturday's drawing.
While the huge jackpot won last Saturday, $336+ million, wasn't an annuity record, either for the U.S. or Powerball (the largest jackpot in U.S. history is a Mega Millions jackpot of $390 million, for the March 6, 2007 drawing.
However, last Saturday's cash payout was a Powerball record, of over $210 million.
Saturday's drawing on Feb. 18, 2012 will be for $50 million annuity, $31.2 million cash.
There were two new millionaires made, in the second ranked $1 million prize tier. None of them chose the Power Play option which would have doubled their winnings to $2 million. Those winners were 1 from Indiana, and one from New York.
Here is the table of winners for the Powerball drawing for Feb. 15, 2012. PB = Powerball.
