Mississippi Match 5 Jackpot Approaches Half a Million
FLOWOOD, MISS. – The Powerball jackpot continues to climb after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing, pushing the jackpot to an estimated $856 million for the Saturday, Aug. 8, drawing. One Mississippi player came incredibly close to a life-changing win, as a ticket purchased at QuickTrip #7249 in Flowood matched four out of five white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000, missing the jackpot by just one white ball.
The jackpot carries an estimated cash value of $372 million and ranks as the eighth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. Saturday’s drawing will mark the 42nd drawing in the current jackpot run.
The recent Flowood win adds to an impressive stretch of Powerball prizes claimed in Mississippi. In July, players won two $50,000 prizes and a $1 million prize, highlighting the excitement and opportunity that comes with every Powerball drawing.
Powerball isn’t the only jackpot generating excitement in Mississippi. The Mississippi Match 5 jackpot continues to climb, reaching an estimated $470,000 for tonight’s drawing. Players have another chance to take home a major prize with Mississippi’s own jackpot game with drawings every night.
