WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT FROM THOSE STUDENTS. ALL RIGHT. $1.7 BILLION. THAT’S THE NEW JACKPOT IN THE POWERBALL LOTTERY BECAUSE NOBODY HIT ALL THE NUMBERS TONIGHT. NOW, THIS IS THE 41ST POWERBALL DRAWING WITHOUT A BIG WINNER. AND WHILE NO ONE HIT THE JACKPOT TONIGHT, TWO PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA ARE STILL BIG WINNERS. SO HERE ARE THE NUMBERS DRAWN TONIGHT. THEY ARE THREE. 16, 29, 61, 69 AND POWERBALL NUMBER 22. THE JACKPOT TONIGHT WAS 1.4 BILLION. IT NOW GOES UP TO 1.7 BILLION HERE IN CALIFORNIA. TWO TICKETS MATCHED FIVE OF THOSE NUMBERS. THEY WERE IN BAKERSFIELD AND RIVERSIDE. THEY WILL GET NEARLY $1 MILLION EACH. AND WITH NO ONE HITTING THE JACKPOT TONIGHT, SATURDAY’S DRAWING NOW GOES UP AGAIN TO 1.7 BILLION. THAT HAS A CASH VALUE OF MORE THAN $770 MILLION. AND THAT’S THE THIRD LARGEST JACKPOT IN POWERBALL HISTORY.
