One lucky PowerBall winner numbers can quit their day job. The PowerBall winning numbers for April 21, 2010 were 11-34-41-49-55 PB:20 PP:2. According to the Missouri Lottery, "One lucky ticket in Missouri matched all six numbers Wednesday, winning a Powerball jackpot of $258.5 million - the largest jackpot win in Missouri Lottery history."

 

Rhode Islanders all over the tiny state were buying a record number of lottery tickets on 4/21/2010 with hopes of winning the mega-million PowerBall jackpot, one of the largest in PowerBall history. It wasn't in the cards though as a Missourian won the estimated lottery jackpot of $258.5 million dollars last night at 10:59pm EST. Too bad for Rhode Island who has one of the highest unemployment rates in the U.S. This surely would have boosted not only the local economy, but also morale.
