POWERBALL’S huge $290million jackpot may have been won tonight.
The draw, which took place at 11pm on Saturday night, turned up winning numbers of 16, 28, 36, 39 and 59, and the Power Ball drawn was 04 with a Power Play of 2x.
It comes after the winner of the jackpot remains a mystery after the August 20 Mega Millions draw.
Friday night’s winning numbers are: 41, 43, 51, 57 and 70, with 1 as the Mega Ball.
The prize amount reached over $250million ahead of the 11pm ET draw.
Although there was no winner of the $256million jackpot, two lottery players won at least $1million, mLive reports.
