Lucky strike for Arizonans as over a staggering $1.3 million bucks have been doled out in lottery wins across the state, a bonanza for nine fortunate players just this past week. As reported by azfamily.com, one winner is particularly flush, having bagged a cool $500,000 from a ticket pushed across the counter at a Safeway in Chandler.
The windfall didn't stop there with Queen Creek and Peoria residents also netting generous sums of $170,276 and $100,000, respectively. And let's not forget the winnings claimed down in the southern end of the Grand Canyon state, where a trio from Tucson scooped up a combined $381,000 haul. Meanwhile, Peoria struck again with a big win when a million-dollar ticket from The Pick was sold at a local Albertsons. According to azfamily.com, Saturday's numbers rolled in as 10-11-24-34-37-38.
But the news just keeps on getting better, as there's still more cash to be won. A second and a third winner triumphantly claimed prizes from Powerball and Mega Millions, drawing $50,000 and $30,000 respectively. If that's not enough to make you try your luck, the combined jackpots for the fabled Powerball and Mega Millions are now astoundingly over $1 billion, with the next Mega Millions jackpot expected to be $480 million for Tuesday's drawing. "Get your $2 tickets before 6:59 p.m. on Tuesday," the site says, urging lottery enthusiasts to quickly snap up their chances.
For Powerball hopefuls, don't drag your feet either. The jackpot is now rolling at a massive $675 million. So, you have until 7:59 p.m. on Monday to get to potentially change your life and indeed buy your $2 ticket for that drawing.
