There was no winner for this weekend’s Powerball lottery game, meaning tonight’s (Wednesday, Dec 09) has risen once again. Check the report below for a look at just how much you could win.
The official Powerball lottery website news info crawl currently reads:

That means that tonight’s game total has risen to a whopping $145 million with an estimated cash value option of $88 million.
The official Powerball lottery website is reporting on a Facebook scam that is making the rounds, warning:
“Facebook users are reporting that they are receiving notices from "friends" indicating that Powerball is giving away prize monies through Facebook, with links of information to ‘claim their prize’.
“These notices are false and fraudulent. The persons behind this fraud are attempting to gain personal information or payment of fees; if a Facebook user clicks on the links they may have their Facebook accounts hacked, perpetuating the false notices to that users' "friends".
“Powerball does not contact prize winners through Facebook, and lotteries do not charge fees to claim Powerball prizes.”
