The Ocean Pines (MD) VFD has announced it is selling 1600 tickets for a chance at their $100,000.00 jackpot.
The Florida Lottery is busy with behind-the-scenes preparations for Powerball. Tickets go on sale in Florida on January 4th. The first drawing is January 7th.
Lottery spokeswoman Jackie Barreiros says computers are getting software downloads so they’ll be able to sell the tickets and workers will be putting up Powerball billboards in the coming weeks.
When Florida joins the game, Powerball will include 30 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands.
Barreiros says Florida’s preparations are right on track so far. She says the state is trying to get the word out about how the game works and how you win.
Jackpots currently start at $15 million, but that will be increased to $20 million when Florida players start buying tickets in January.
Barreiros says the Lottery Department expects Lotto sales to drop off when Powerball begins, but the agency is confident players will come back to Lotto. She says workers will be pulling down Lotto billboards and replacing them with Powerball signs, but that doesn’t mean Lotto is going away.
Each Powerball ticket will cost $1. You’ll have an option to pay an extra $1 to multiply the non-jackpot winnings.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 146 million. Good luck!
According to the Maryland Lottery, instant scratch-off sales are up almost $45 million from this time last year, and overall lottery sales are up by almost $10 million during the first 10 months of this year.
The jackpot in the Florida Lotto game has grown to $14 million after no one matched the six winning numbers in the latest drawing, lottery officials said.

The winning Florida Lotto numbers selected Wednesday night: 4-19-29-32-44-49.
There has been another rollover in the grand prize for the Illinois State Lottery’s Lotto game – to $18.75 million.
The rollover occurred because no player matched all six winning numbers from Wednesday night’s $18.5 million drawing.
The next Lotto drawing will be Saturday night.
