Pool Wins $321 and is ONE number away from winning $600,000!

In our first participatory draw in about a month, we won $321 on October 18th with only two numbers sets! The winning first five numbers were: 2-24-34-41-48 and one of our sets was: 2-24-41-44-48! We earned $100 on that number set (odds 1 in 14,000+ !) but because we bought the multiplier which turned up 3x those earning increased to $300. If we had 34 in that series? We would have won $200,000 that would have then been tripled to $600,000 because of the multiplier. We missed on the powerball - but if that one had come up too in that series? JACKPOT!!! Nobody else won the jackpot which now climbs to $59 million. We don't participate in weekend draws so if no one wins this Saturday, we're back in for the draw on Wednesday, October 25th. No doubt the jackpot will be close to $70 million by then.

The current plan for the $321 is to do our first ever distribution of earnings to the pool members! I'll round the figures to the lowest dollar to make things easier and deposit the rest into the pool bank. For $5 members the payout will be $12. For $2 members it will be $4.
