Powerball winning numbers update: The Powerball winning numbers for June 8 were announced last night, and the big $60 million Powerball jackpot would have gone to players who have matched all five white numbers as well as the lucky jackpot number, 19.

Powerball winning numbers from June 8 were 2, 11, 22, 26, and 23 for the five white Powerball numbers and 19 for the red Powerball jackpot number. Since no Powerball players won the whopping $60 million jackpot last night, the Powerball jackpot for this coming Wednesday has been raised to $70 million!

Powerball winning numbers updates are broadcasted live on television on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

While no one matched all six of the Powerball winning numbers, there was one Powerball player from Tennessee who was a Match 5 winner with Power Play and took home $2 million. The Powerball winner became a millionaire overnight!

There were also two Powerball players who matched all five of the white Powerball winning numbers, except for the red jackpot number. Each player won $1 million, and the two Powerball winners purchased their winning tickets in Missouri and Nebraska.

According to Florida lottery executive Cindy O'Connell, Florida is the state that has had the most number of Powerball winners in the nation.

The chances of winning a Powerball jackpot are only 1 in 175.2 million, but the odds of winning smaller prizes are 1 in 32.

Experienced Powerball winners and now millionaires claim that playing the same Powerball numbers each week has helped them become millionaires overnight.

The largest Powerball jackpot in lottery history is $590.5 million, which was won by a Florida Powerball player in May of this year.

Powerball tickets can be easily purchased for $2 in local stores of 43 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
