Kansas Players Purchase Record $5.4 Million in
Powerball Tickets;Six $10,000 Kansas Winners in November 28
Drawing
The Kansas Lottery is urging all players to check their
Powerball tickets from last night's drawing. Six tickets sold in
Kansas for the record-breaking drawing are each worth $10,000 after
matching four of the first five numbers, plus the Powerball. The
winning numbers in the much-anticipated drawing were 5-16-22-23-29
Powerball 6.
Four of the $10,000 tickets were sold in northeast Kansas and
two were sold in south central Kansas. The counties included in
each of those regions are listed here: /aboutus/lotteryregions.aspx
Kansans turned out in huge numbers to purchase their tickets in
the hopes of hitting the record Powerball jackpot. The $587.5
million jackpot was captured by players in two states: Arizona and
Missouri.
The final tally for Powerball tickets sold in Kansas for the
November 28 drawing was more than$5.4 million! That number easily
surpassed the nearly $3.5 million tickets sold for the March 30
record Mega Millions drawing, in which a Franklin County resident
claimed a third of a $656 million jackpot.
Including the six $10,000 winners, there were a total of 84,088
Kansas winners in last night's drawing. To view the number of
