Powerball Jackpot Climbs but Texas & California Goof

We always try to double  check our lottery results, and were surprised to see that Texas reported the estimated Poweball cash value option at $13.3 million, when everyone else reports $13.4 million. (We think this was simply a typo).

However, the California Super Lotto Plus was extremely out of alignment. No one had won last night, but the Jackpot remained at $16 million and the cash option fell to $4.4 million.  Trying to help our visitors, we estimated the jackpot to be $17 million and a cash value of $10.8M. Now, we find that California corrected their website and established the Jackpot at $18 million and cash value of $11.4 million. We have updated our site accordingly.


The winning Powerball numbers for Wednesday Aug 04, 2010 were:

There were no PB jackpot winners, so the jackpot grows to $25 million with a cash option of $13.4M and a yield of 3.99%
