Technical difficulty delays Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing
The Powerball jackpot is now sitting at $515 million with a cash payout of just over $256 million.
However, those who anxiously awaited the numbers had to be wait as the drawing was delayed due to technical difficulties.
Shortly after what was supposed to be the live drawing, the results were posted on Powerball’s website and its YouTube channel as soon as the issue was fixed.
The numbers: 27 42 15 08 06 10 (Powerball) and Power Play 3.
No one has had a winning ticket since August. Since then, the game has had 32 drawings in a row without a grand prize winner.
