Yet, the elusive numbers [17], [10], [6], [5], [31], [19], [2], and the Powerball [10] slipped through the fingers of millions of ticket holders, rolling the jackpot over to an incredible $20 million for the upcoming draw 1427.
While the top prize went unwon, the draw wasn't without its winners. One fortunate player bagged a good sum of $411,699.80 in Division Two, matching all numbers except the Powerball.
The Division Three prize pool of $511,843.65 was divided among 51 lucky winners, each walking away with $10,036.15.
